Psalms 30

   |   

Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.

1 I will (C1)exalt You, LORD, for You have (C2)lifted me up,
And have not let my (C3)enemies rejoice over me.

2 LORD my God,
I (C1)cried to You for help, and You (C2)healed me.

3 LORD, You have (C1)brought up my soul from (F1)Sheol;
You have kept me alive, (F2)that I would not (C2)go down to the pit.

4 (C1)Sing praise to the LORD, you (C2)His godly ones,
And (C3)praise the mention of His holiness.

5 For (C1)His anger is but for a moment,
His (C2)favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may (C3)last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I will (C1)never be moved."

7 LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You (C1)hid Your face, I was dismayed.

8 To You, LORD, I called,
And to the Lord I pleaded for compassion:

9 "What gain is there in my blood, if I (C1)go down to the pit?
Will the (C2)dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

10 "(C1)Hear, LORD, and be gracious to me;
LORD, be my (C2)helper."

11 You have turned (C1)my mourning into dancing for me;
You have (C2)untied my sackcloth and encircled me with (C3)joy,

12 That my (F1)(C1)soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
LORD my God, I will (C2)give thanks to You forever.
