You Have Turned My Mourning Into Rejoicing!

[Bible Speaks]

Psalms

A melody. A song of inauguration of the house. Of David.

30"I will exalt you, O Jehovah, for you have lifted me up;

You did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

 2 O Jehovah my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.

 3 O Jehovah, you have lifted me up from the Grave.

You kept me alive; you spared me from sinking into the pit.

 4 Sing praises to Jehovah, you his loyal ones,

Give thanks to his holy name;

 5 Because being under his anger is only for a moment,

But being in his favor is for a lifetime.

Weeping may come in the evening, but in the morning, there is a joyful cry.

 6 When I was untroubled, I said:

“I will never be shaken.”

 7 O Jehovah, while I was in your favor, you made me as strong as a mountain.

But when you hid your face, I became terrified.

 8 To you, O Jehovah, I kept calling;

And to Jehovah, I kept pleading for favor.

 9 What profit is there in my death, in my going down to the pit?

Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?

10 Hear, O Jehovah, and show me favor.

O Jehovah, become my helper.

11 You have changed my mourning into dancing;

You have removed my sackcloth, and you clothe me with rejoicing,

12 So that I may sing your praise and not keep silent.

O Jehovah my God, I will praise you forever."

(Psalm 30:1-12) NWT
