30:1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the house. By David:
30:2 I will exalt you, Adonai, because you drew me up; you didn’t let my enemies rejoice over me.
30:3 Adonai my God, I cried out to you, and you provided healing for me.
30:4 Adonai, you lifted me up from Sh’ol; you kept me alive when I was sinking into a pit.
30:5 Sing praise to Adonai, you faithful of his; and give thanks on recalling his holiness.
30:6 For his anger is momentary, but his favor lasts a lifetime. Tears may linger for the night, but with dawn come cries of joy.
30:7 Once I was prosperous and used to say, that nothing could ever shake me —
30:8 when you showed me favor, Adonai, I was firm as a mighty mountain. But when you hid your face, I was struck with terror.
30:9 I called to you, Adonai; to Adonai I pleaded for mercy:
30:10 “What advantage is there in my death, in my going down to the pit? Can the dust praise you? Can it proclaim your truth?
30:11 Hear me, Adonai, and show me your favor! Adonai, be my helper!”
30:12 You turned my mourning into dancing! You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
30:13 so that my well-being can praise you and not be silent; Adonai my God, I will thank you forever!
