Psalm 30
New International Version

### Psalm 30[a]

#### A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[b]Of David.

1 I will exalt(A)you,Lord,
for you lifted me out of the depths(B)
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.(C)
2 Lordmy God, I called to you for help,(D)
and you healed me.(E)
3 You,Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;(F)
you spared me from going down to the pit.(G)

4 Sing(H)the praises of theLord, you his faithful people;(I)
praise his holy name.(J)
5 For his anger(K)lasts only a moment,(L)
but his favor lasts a lifetime;(M)
weeping(N)may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.(O)

6 When I felt secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”(P)
7 Lord, when you favored me,
you made my royal mountain[c]stand firm;
but when you hid your face,(Q)
I was dismayed.

8 To you,Lord, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?(R)
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?(S)
10 Hear,(T)Lord, and be merciful to me;(U)
Lord, be my help.(V)”

11 You turned my wailing(W)into dancing;(X)
you removed my sackcloth(Y)and clothed me with joy,(Z)
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lordmy God, I will praise(AA)you forever.(AB)
