Salmos 30

¹A psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I I praise you, LORD, for you raised me up and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

²O LORD, my God, I cried out to you and you healed me.

³LORD, you brought me up from Sheol; you kept me from going down to the pit.

⁴II Sing praise to the LORD, you faithful; give thanks to God's holy name.

⁵For divine anger lasts but a moment; divine favor lasts a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing.

⁶III Complacent, I once said, I shall never be shaken.

⁷LORD, when you showed me favor I stood like the mighty mountains. But when you hid your face I was struck with terror.

⁸To you, LORD, I cried out; with the Lord I pleaded for mercy:

⁹What gain is there from my lifeblood, from my going down to the grave? Does dust give you thanks or declare your faithfulness?

¹⁰Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper.

¹¹IV You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.

¹²With my whole being I sing endless praise to you. O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.
