Psalm
Psalms, 30
A melody. A song of inauguration of the house. Of David.
1 I shall exalt you, O Jehovah,*1 for you have drawn me up And you have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
|
2 O Jehovah*1 my God, I cried to you for help, and you proceeded to heal me.
|
3 O Jehovah, you have brought up my soul from Sheʹol*1 itself; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down into the pit.
|
4 Make melody to Jehovah,*1 O YOU loyal ones of his, Give thanks to his holy memorial;*2
|
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,*1 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,*1 I kept calling; And to Jehovah*2 I kept making entreaty for favor.
|
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit?*1 Will the dust laud you? Will it tell of your trueness?*2
|
10 Hear, O Jehovah,*1 and show me favor. O Jehovah,*2 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*1 may make melody to you and not keep silent. O Jehovah*2 my God, to time indefinite I will laud you.
