Psalm 30
Berean Standard Bible
Chapter overview
Psalm 30 gives thanks for restoration from grave illness and danger. Nightlong weeping yields to morning joy, self-confidence is corrected, mourning becomes dancing, and renewed life refuses silence in grateful praise.
HealingJoyMourningThanksgiving
1I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.
2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.
4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
8To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
9“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
11You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
