# Psalm 30 A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple. 
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. 
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. 
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. 
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. 
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. 
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. By your favor, O LORD, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. 
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: 
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? 
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!” 
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
