| 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. --
