← Chapter 29Chapter 31 →

1I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me.You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.

2O LORD my God, I cried to you for help,and you restored my health.

3You brought me up from the grave, O LORD.You kept me from falling into the pit of death.

4Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones!Praise his holy name.

5For his anger lasts only a moment,but his favor lasts a lifetime!Weeping may last through the night,but joy comes with the morning.

6When I was prosperous, I said,“Nothing can stop me now!”

7Your favor, O LORD, made me as secure as a mountain.Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.

8I cried out to you, O LORD.I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,

9“What will you gain if I die,if I sink into the grave?Can my dust praise you?Can it tell of your faithfulness?

10Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me.Help me, O LORD.”

11You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,

12that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!
