Psalm, 30

A melody. A song of inauguration of the house. Of David.

1 I will exalt you, O Jehovah, for you have lifted*1 me up; You did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

  1. Or “drawn.”

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

3 O Jehovah, you have lifted me*1 up from the Grave.*2 You kept me alive; you spared me from sinking into the pit.*3

  1. Or “my soul.”

  2. Or “Sheol,” that is, the common grave of mankind. See Glossary.

  3. Or “grave.”

4 Sing praises*1 to Jehovah, you his loyal ones, Give thanks to his holy name;*2

  1. Or “Make music.”

  2. Lit., “memorial.”

5 Because being under his anger is only for a moment, But being in his favor*1 is for a lifetime. Weeping may come in the evening, but in the morning, there is a joyful cry.

  1. Or “goodwill.”

6 When I was untroubled, I said: “I will never be shaken.”*1

  1. Or “will never stagger (totter).”

7 O Jehovah, while I was in your favor,*1 you made me as strong as a mountain. But when you hid your face, I became terrified.

  1. Or “goodwill.”

8 To you, O Jehovah, I kept calling; And to Jehovah, I kept pleading for favor.

9 What profit is there in my death,*1 in my going down to the pit?*2 Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?

  1. Lit., “blood.”

  2. Or “grave.”

10 Hear, O Jehovah, and show me favor. O Jehovah, become my helper.

11 You have changed my mourning into dancing; You have removed my sackcloth, and you clothe me with rejoicing,

12 So that I*1 may sing your praise and not keep silent. O Jehovah my God, I will praise you forever.

  1. Or “my glory.”
