Psalms 30:7-12

⁷Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe as though I was inside MET a mountain. But then I became ill, and I thought that you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.

⁸Then I called out to you, and I pleaded for you to help me.

⁹I said, “Yahweh, ◄what will you gain if I die?/ you won't gain anything if I die►MTY. ◄In what way will it benefit you?/it won't benefit you at all► if I go to the place where the dead people are RHQ. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you RHQ, and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy RHQ!

¹⁰Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”

¹¹But now you have healed me, and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing joyfully. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was very joyful.

¹²So I will not be silent; I will sing out loudly to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
