Psalms 30 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised（CSBA）

Joy in the MorningA psalm; a dedication song for the house. Of David.

1I will exalt you, Lord,

because you have lifted me up 

and have not allowed my enemies

to triumph over me. 

2 Lord my God,

I cried to you for help, and you healed me. 

3 Lord, you brought me up from Sheol; 

you spared me from among those

going down  to the Pit. 

4Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones,

and praise his holy name. 

5For his anger lasts only a moment,

but his favour, a lifetime.

Weeping may stay overnight,

but there is joy in the morning. 

6When I was secure, I said,

‘I will never be shaken.’ 

7 Lord, when you showed your favour,

you made me stand like a strong mountain; 

when you hid your face, I was terrified. 

8 Lord, I called to you;

I sought favour from my Lord: 

9‘What gain is there in my death,

if I go down to the Pit?

Will the dust praise you?

Will it proclaim your truth? 

10 Lord, listen and be gracious to me;

Lord, be my helper.’ 

11You turned my lament into dancing;

you removed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness, 

12so that I can sing to you and not be silent.

Lord my God, I will praise you for ever.
