30 1 I will extol you, O Yahweh, for you have drawn me up,
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
30 2 O Yahweh my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
30 3 O Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol,
restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
30 4 Sing praises to Yahweh, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
30 5 For his anger is but for a moment, and his favour is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
30 6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I shall never be moved."
30 7 By your favour, O Yahweh, you had established me as a strong mountain;
you hid your face, I was dismayed.
30 8 To you, O Yahweh, I cried;
and to Yahweh I made supplication:
30 9 "What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
30 10 Hear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me!
O Yahweh, be you my helper!"
30 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
30 12 that my soul may praise you and not be silent.
O Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
