Psalm 30Joy in the Morning

1. I will exalt you, 
Lord,
because you have lifted me up
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.

2. 
Lord my God,
I cried to you for help, and you healed me.

3. 
Lord, you brought me up from Sheol;
you spared me from among those
going down to the Pit.

4. Sing to the 
Lord, you his faithful ones,
and praise his holy name.

5. For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning.

6. When I was secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."

7. 
Lord, when you showed your favor,
you made me stand like a strong mountain;
when you hid your face, I was terrified.

8. 
Lord, I called to you;
I sought favor from my 
Lord:

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?

10. 
Lord, listen and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper."

11. You turned my lament into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,

12. so that I can sing to you and not be silent.

Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
