Psalms 30

   |   

Joy Comes with the Morning

A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of (a)the temple.

1 I will (b)extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
    and have not let my foes (c)rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I (d)cried to you for help,
    and you have (e)healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from (f)Sheol;
    you restored me to life from among those who (g)go down to the pit.[a]

4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you (h)his saints,
    and (i)give thanks to his holy name.[b]
5 (j)For his anger is but for a moment,
    and (k)his favor is for a lifetime.[c]
(l)Weeping may tarry for the night,
    but (m)joy comes with the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my (n)prosperity,
    "I shall never be (o)moved."
7 By your favor, O Lord,
    you made my (p)mountain stand strong;
you (q)hid your face;
    I was (r)dismayed.

8 To you, O Lord, I cry,
    and (s)to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 "What profit is there in my death,[d]
    if I go down to the pit?[e]
Will (t)the dust praise you?
    Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 (u)Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!"

11 You have turned for me my mourning into (v)dancing;
    you have loosed my sackcloth
    and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my (w)glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
