Psalm30
Thanksgiving for Answered Prayer
A psalm; a song for the dedication of the house. Of David.
1I will exalt you, O Yahweh,because you have drawn me up,and have not made my enemies rejoice over me.2O Yahweh, my God,I cried for help to you,and you healed me.3O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol.You preserved me alivefrom among those going down to the pit.4Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful ones,and give thanks ⸤to his holy fame⸥. 5For there is a moment in his anger;there is a lifetime in his favor.Weeping lodges for the evening,but in the morning comes rejoicing.6But as for me, I had said in my prosperity,“I shall not be moved ever.”7O Yahweh, by your favoryou caused my strong mountain to stand.You hid your face. I was bewildered.8To you, O Yahweh, I called,and to the Lord I pleaded for grace saying,9“What gain is there in my ⸤death⸥, in my going down into the pit?Will the dust praise you?Will it tell of your faithfulness?10“O Yahweh, hear and be gracious to me.O Yahweh, be my helper.”11You have turned my wailing into my dancing.You have removed my sackclothand clothed me with joy12so that ⸤I⸥ may sing praises to youand not be quiet.O Yahweh, my God,I will give thanks to you forever.Logos Bible Software
