| 30:1 | The Blessedness of Answered PrayerA Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me. |
| 30:2 | O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me. |
| 30:3 | O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. |
| 30:4 | Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. |
| 30:5 | 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. |
| 30:6 | Now in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be moved." |
| 30:7 | LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled. |
| 30:8 | I cried out to You, O LORD; And to the LORD I made supplication: |
| 30:9 | What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? |
| 30:10 | Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper!" |
| 30:11 | You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, |
| 30:12 | 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. |
