1.2 KiB
1.2 KiB
Psalm 30
- I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me.
You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.
- O LORD my God, I cried to you for help,
and you restored my health.
- You brought me up from the grave, O LORD.
You kept me from falling into the pit of death.
- Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones!
Praise his holy name.
- For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
- When I was prosperous, I said,
"Nothing can stop me now!"
- Your favor, O LORD, made me as secure as a mountain.
Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
- I cried out to you, O LORD.
I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,
- "What will you gain if I die,
if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you?
Can it tell of your faithfulness?
- Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me.
Help me, O LORD."
- You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.
You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
- that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!
