Psalm 30: I will exalt you O LORD my God

I will exalt you, O LORD my God,

You lifted me out of the depths.

You cared for me LORD, would not allow,

My foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD, when I called, you healed me;

Brought my soul up from the grave;

You spared me O LORD;

Saved me from out of the pit.

Sing to the LORD, all you his saints,

Give praises to his holy name.

For whilst his anger lasts but a moment,

His favour will last all your life.

Sadness and weeping may tarry,

But only remain for a night;

Rejoicing then comes,

Fresh with the new morning light.

When I felt secure, I said to myself,

Shaken I never will be.

As a strong mountain, I did stand firm,

For you showed your favour to me.

But then when you hid your face from me,

Then I was filled with dismay.

I called out to you,

Then I cried out for your mercy.

What gain O LORD, is there in death;

If I should go down to the pit.

Will the dust praise you or speak of your truth,

O gracious LORD be my help:

You’ve turned all my wailing to dancing,

Removed the sackcloth from me.

You’ve clothed me with joy,

Made my heart sing for you.

O LORD my God, I’ll give you praise,

I’ll praise you as long as I live.

O LORD my God, I give you praise,

Forever my thanks I will give.

You’ve turned my wailing to dancing,

Removed the sackcloth from me.

You’ve clothed me with joy,

Made my heart sing for you. 

I cannot be silent.
