Psalm 30:4 Give Thanks

Bible Text : Psalm 30

A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple. 

1 I will extol you, O LORD, for You have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. 

2 O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and you have healed me. 

3 O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

4 Sing praises to the LORD, O you His saints, and give thanks to his holy name. 

5 For His anger is but for a moment, and His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. 

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” 

7 By Your favor, O LORD, You made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face; I was dismayed. 

8 To You, O LORD, I cry, and to the LORD I plead for mercy: 

9 “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it tell of Your faithfulness? 

10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!” 

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 

12 that my glory may sing Your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever!
