Psalm 30:1-12

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Psalm 30:1-12

1I will exalt You, O LORD,
for You have lifted me up
and have not allowed my foes
to rejoice over me.
2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help,
and You healed me.
3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol;
You spared me from descending into the Pit.
4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints,
and praise His holy name.
5For His anger is fleeting,
but His favor lasts a lifetime.
Weeping may stay the night,
but joy comes in the morning.
6In prosperity I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
7O LORD, You favored me;
You made my mountain stand strong.
When You hid Your face,
I was dismayed.
8To You, O LORD, I called,
and I begged my Lord for mercy:
9“What gain is there in my bloodshed,
in my descent to the Pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy;
O LORD, be my helper.”
11You turned my mourning into dancing;
You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
— Psalm 30:1-12
