I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. O LORD, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit. Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken." O LORD, when you favored me,
you made my mountain stand firm;
but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. To you, O LORD, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy: "What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help." You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
--Psalm 30 (NIV)
