A psalm, a song for the dedication of the house of David
30
📚✭✭I will extol you, O LORD, for you have
lifted me up,
and have not let my foes
rejoice over me.
2 📚O LORD my God,
I cried out to you,
and you healed me.
3 📚O LORD, you brought my soul
up from the grave✭.
You have kept me alive,
so that I would
not go down to the pit.
4 📚✭Sing to the LORD,
you saints of his,
give thanks at the remembrance
of his holiness.
5 📚For his anger remains but
a moment;
in his favour is life.
Weeping may endure
for a night,
but joy comes in the morning.
6 📚✭And in my prosperity
I said,
“I will never be shaken”.
7 📚LORD, by your favour
you have made my mountain
to stand strong,
but when you hid your face
I was troubled.
8 📚I cried out to you, O LORD,
and made supplication to the LORD.
9 📚What profit is there
in my blood,
in my going down to the pit?
Will the dust✭ praise you?
Will it declare your truth?
10 📚Hear, O LORD,
and have mercy on me!
LORD, be my helper!
11 📚✭You have turned my mourning
into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth,
and clothed me with gladness,
12 📚So that my glory may
sing praise to you,
and not be silent.
O LORD my God,
I will give thanks✭
to you forever.
