Psalm 30

12 verses · BSBPsalms book hub →

1 I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

2 O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

3 O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.

4 Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.

5 For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”

7 O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

8 To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:

9 “What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?

10 Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”

11 You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

12 that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.

A song at the dedication of the house. 'I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up', healed, brought up from Sheol, kept alive. The theology of the night and the morning: 'His anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a life-time: weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.' Prosperity had said 'I shall never be moved'; the hidden face taught otherwise. 'Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing… O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.'
