| Chapter 30 |
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. |
