Psalms 30:3-11

³O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

⁴Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial name.

⁵For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy cometh in the morning.

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

⁷Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

⁸I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁰Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.

¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
