Psalm 30
Vers 1
LORD, yours all praise and glory be
Out of the depths you lifted me;
you healed me and you kept my foes
from gloating over all my woes.
You spared me from death’s desolation,
for you, LORD, heard my supplication.
Vers 2
Sing to the LORD, you saints of his,
and praise him for his faithfulness.
God’s anger quickly fades away;
his love will for a lifetime stay.
Tears fill the night, but soon thereafter
the morning dawns with joy and laughter.
Vers 3
I said in my prosperity
that none could shake or trouble me.
But it was you, LORD, all along
who made my mountain firm and strong.
For when you hid your face, I stumbled;
I was dismayed, by troubles humbled.
Vers 4
To you I cry for mercy, LORD
What profit can my death afford?
If I go down into the grave,
can dust proclaim your power to save?
LORD, hear me! Show your grace and favour.
Come to my help and be my Saviour.
Vers 5
You turned my mourning and distress
to joyful dance and happiness,
stripped off my sackcloth of despair
and gave me robes of joy to wear.
O LORD my God, for your great favour
I will give thanks and praise forever.
