Psalms 30:7-12

⁷For by your favor, O Lord, you had set me on mountains strong: but you hide your face, and I was confounded.

⁸Then to you, Lord, I cried, to the Lord I begged for mercy,

⁹“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Can you be praised by dust? Can it tell of your faithfulness?

¹⁰Hear, Lord, and show me your favor, Lord be a helper to me.”

¹¹You have turned my mourning to dancing; my sackcloth you have unloosed, and clothed me with joy:

¹²that unceasingly I should sing your praise, and give thanks to you, Lord my God, forever.
