30:1  A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, And have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

30:2  Yahweh my God, I cried to you, And you have healed me.

30:3  Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

30:4  Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

30:5  For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, But joy comes in the morning.

30:6  As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

30:7  You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong. But when you hid your face, I was troubled.

30:8  I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:

30:9  "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

30:10  Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper."

30:11  You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

30:12  To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
