Psalm 30

^{Tools
1} A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Davidic.

I will exalt You, Lord,
because You have lifted me up^(A)
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.^(B)

^{Tools
2}

Lord my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.^(C)

^{Tools
3}

Lord, You brought me up from Sheol;^(D)
You spared me from among those
going down^(a) to the Pit.^(E)

^{Tools
4}

Sing to Yahweh, you His faithful ones,
and praise His holy name.^(F)

^{Tools
5}

For His anger lasts only a moment,
but His favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may spend the night,
but there is joy in the morning.^(G)

^{Tools
6}

When I was secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”^(H)

^{Tools
7}

Lord, when You showed Your favor,
You made me stand like a strong mountain;^(I)
when You hid Your face, I was terrified.^(J)

^{Tools
8}

Lord, I called to You;
I sought favor from my Lord:^(K)

^{Tools
9}

“What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it proclaim Your truth?^(L)

^{Tools
10}

Lord, listen and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper.”^(M)

^{Tools
11}

You turned my lament into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,^(N)

^{Tools
12}

so that I can sing to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise You forever.^(O)
