| Chapter 30 |
1 | I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, And have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
|
2 | Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
|
3 | Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
|
4 | Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
|
5 | For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, But joy comes in the morning.
|
6 | As for me, I said in my prosperity, 'I shall never be moved.'
|
7 | You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong. But when you hid your face, I was troubled.
|
8 | I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:
|
9 | 'What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
|
10 | Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.'
|
11 | You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
|
12 | To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever. Psalm 31 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
