Psalm 30 Complete Jewish Bible

30 ⁽⁰⁾A psalm. A song for the dedication of the house. By David:

²⁽¹⁾I will exalt you, Adonai, because you drew me up;
you didn’t let my enemies rejoice over me.
³⁽²⁾Adonai my God, I cried out to you,
and you provided healing for me.
⁴⁽³⁾Adonai, you lifted me up from Sh’ol;
you kept me alive when I was sinking into a pit.

⁵⁽⁴⁾Sing praise to Adonai, you faithful of his;
and give thanks on recalling his holiness.
⁶⁽⁵⁾For his anger is momentary,
but his favor lasts a lifetime.
Tears may linger for the night,
but with dawn come cries of joy.

⁷⁽⁶⁾Once I was prosperous and used to say,
that nothing could ever shake me —
⁸⁽⁷⁾when you showed me favor, Adonai,
I was firm as a mighty mountain.
But when you hid your face,
I was struck with terror.

⁹⁽⁸⁾I called to you, Adonai;
to Adonai I pleaded for mercy:
¹⁰⁽⁹⁾“What advantage is there in my death,
in my going down to the pit?
Can the dust praise you?
Can it proclaim your truth?
¹¹⁽¹⁰⁾Hear me, Adonai, and show me your favor!
Adonai, be my helper!”

¹²⁽¹¹⁾You turned my mourning into dancing!
You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
¹³⁽¹²⁾so that my well-being can praise you and not be silent;
Adonai my God, I will thank you forever!
