Psaumes 30
English standard version

Louange après la délivrance

1 A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.
I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name
5 For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
I shall never be moved
7 By your favor, O Lord,
you made my mountain stand strong;
you hid your face;
I was dismayed
8 To you, O Lord, I cry,
and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
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?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
