Psalm 30

I will exalt you, LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my enemies rejoice over me. LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me. LORD, you brought my soul up from Sheol;
you kept me alive from going down to the pit. Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones;
give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger is but a moment, his favor a lifetime.
Weeping may lodge for the night, but joy comes in the morning. In my ease I said, “I will never be shaken.” LORD, by your favor you made my mountain stand strong;
you hid your face, and I was terrified. To you, LORD, I cried, and to the Lord I pleaded: “What gain is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit?
Will the dust thank you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, LORD, and be gracious to me;
LORD, be my helper.” You turned my mourning into dancing;
you loosened my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my glory may sing praise to you and not be silent.
LORD my God, I will thank you forever.
