Psalm

30 I shall exalt you, O Jehovah,* for you have drawn me up+

And you have not let my enemies rejoice over me.+

 3 O Jehovah, you have brought up my soul from Sheʹol* itself;+

You have kept me alive, that I should not go down into the pit.+

 4 Make melody to Jehovah,* O YOU loyal ones of his,+

Give thanks to his holy memorial;*+

 5 Because being under his anger is for a moment,+

Being under his goodwill is for a lifetime.+

In the evening weeping may take up lodging,+ but in the morning there is a joyful cry.+

 6 As for me, I have said in my ease:+

“Never shall I be made to totter.”+

 7 O Jehovah,* in your goodwill you have made my mountain to stand in strength.+

You concealed your face; I became one that is disturbed.+

 8 To you, O Jehovah,* I kept calling;+

And to Jehovah* I kept making entreaty for favor.+

 9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit?*+

Will the dust laud you?+ Will it tell of your trueness?*+

10 Hear, O Jehovah,* and show me favor.+

O Jehovah,* prove yourself my helper.+

11 You have changed my mourning into dancing for me;+

You have loosened my sackcloth, and you keep me girded with rejoicing,+

12 In order that [my] glory* may make melody to you and not keep silent.+

O Jehovah* my God, to time indefinite I will laud you.+
