PSALM 30
The Blessedness of Answered Prayer
A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1 I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up,
​​And have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 ​​O LORD my God, I cried out to You,
​​And You healed me.
3 ​​O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave;
​​You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.[fn]
​
4 ​​Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His,
​​And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.[fn]
5 ​​For His anger is but for a moment,
​​His favor is for life;
​​Weeping may endure for a night,
​​But joy comes in the morning.
​
6 ​​Now in my prosperity I said,
​​“I shall never be moved.”
7 ​​LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
​​You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
​
8 ​​I cried out to You, O LORD;
​​And to the LORD I made supplication:
9 ​​“What profit is there in my blood,
​​When I go down to the pit?
​​Will the dust praise You?
​​Will it declare Your truth?
10 ​​Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;
​​LORD, be my helper!”
​
11 ​​You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
​​You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12 ​​To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
​​O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
