Psalm 30 — Psalms 30:4–10

Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his,
And give thanks to his holy memorial name.

For his anger is but for a moment;
His favor is for a life-time:
Weeping may tarry for the night,
But joy cometh in the morning.

As for me, I said in my prosperity,
I shall never be moved.

Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:
Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

I cried to thee, O Jehovah;
And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me:
Jehovah, be thou my helper.
