Psalm 30

I will exalt you, O Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.
O Lord you brought me up from the grave, you spared me from going down into the pit.
Sing to the Lord, you saints of his; praise His Holy name.
For his anger last only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping many remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken."
O Lord when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm;
but when you hid your face I was dismayed.
To you, O Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy;
What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me; O Lord be my help."
You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth

and clothed me with joy,
that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever.
