Psalms 30

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ You have put my friends far from me; You have made me an[2] object of loathing to them. I am shut up and I cannot go out.

² My eye grows dim with sorrow. O LORD, I have called on You every day; I have spread out my hands to You [in prayer].

³ Will You perform wonders for the dead? Shall the departed spirits arise and praise You? Selah.

⁴ Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave Or Your faithfulness in Abaddon (the underworld)?

⁵ Will Your wonders be known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness [where the dead forget and are forgotten]?

⁶ But I have cried out to You, O LORD, for help; And in the morning my prayer will come to You.

⁷ O LORD, why do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?

⁸ I was afflicted and close to death from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.

⁹ Your fierce wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.

¹⁰ They have surrounded me like flood waters all day long; They have completely encompassed me.

¹¹ Lover and friend You have placed far from me; My familiar friends are in darkness.

¹² A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem, of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the goodness and lovingkindness of the LORD forever; With my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness from generation to generation.
