Psalms 30

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up,

Yahweh my God, I cried to you,

Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.30:3 Sheol is the place of the dead.

Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.

For his anger is but for a moment.

As for me, I said in my prosperity,

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;

I cried to you, Yahweh.

“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?

Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.

to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
