Psalm.
Chapter 30.
A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me. 
O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me. 
O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. 
Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name. 
For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning. 
In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.” 
O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed. 
To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy: 
“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness? 
Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.” 
You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 
that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
