Psalm 30

    A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.^[a] Of David.
 ¹ I will exalt you, O LORD,
   for you lifted me out of the depths
   and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
² O LORD my God, I called to you for help
   and you healed me.
³ O LORD, you brought me up from the grave^[b];
   you spared me from going down into the pit.
 ⁴ Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;
   praise his holy name.
⁵ For his anger lasts only a moment,
   but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
   but rejoicing comes in the morning.
 ⁶ When I felt secure, I said,
   “I will never be shaken.”
⁷ O LORD, when you favored me,
   you made my mountain^[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
   I was dismayed.
 ⁸ To you, O LORD, I called;
   to the Lord I cried for mercy:
⁹ “What gain is there in my destruction,^[d]
   in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
   Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
¹⁰ Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me;
   O LORD, be my help.”
 ¹¹ You turned my wailing into dancing;
   you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
¹² that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
   O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
