Psalm 30

A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the temple. Of David.
1 I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up,
   and did not let my foes rejoice over me.
2Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
   and you have healed me.
3Lord, you brought up my soul from Sheol,
   restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.


4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones,
   and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment;
   his favour is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
   but joy comes with the morning.
