Psalms 30 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David. I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

ASV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. [A Psalm] of David.

I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up,
And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. ² O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. ³ O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol;
Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. ⁴ Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his,
And give thanks to his holy memorial [name]. ⁵ For 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. ⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. ⁷ Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:
Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled. ⁸ I cried to thee, O Jehovah;
And unto Jehovah I made supplication: ⁹ What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? ¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me:
Jehovah, be thou my helper. ¹¹ Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing;
Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; ¹² To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
