Praying Psalm 30
I will exalt You my Lord, for You rescue me. You refuse to let my enemies triumph over me. O Lord my God, I cry to You for help and You restore my health. You bring me up from the grave, O Lord, You keep me from falling into the pit of death. Sing to my Lord all you godly ones! Bend your knees and praise His holy Name. For my Lord’s anger lasts only a moment, but His favour lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. When I am prosperous I will say, “Nothing can stop me now!” Your favour my King, make me as secure as a mountain. But when You turn away from me, I am shattered. I cry out to You, O Lord. I beg You for mercy saying, “What will You gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise You? Can it tell of Your faithfulness? Hear me then my Lord and have mercy on me. Help me, my King.” You turn my mourning into joyful dancing. You take away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy that I may sing praises to You and not be silent. O Lord, my God, I will give you thanks forever! Amein.
