Psalms 30

Thanksgiving for deliverance from death.

O Jehovah my God,

O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol;

Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his,

For his anger is but for a moment;

As for me, I said in my prosperity,

Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:

I cried to thee, O Jehovah;

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me:

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing;

To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
