CHAPTER 30
A Psalm.
A Song
for the dedication
of the temple.
Of David.
I will exalt You,
O LORD,
for
You have lifted me up
and have not
allowed my foes
to rejoice over me.
For
His anger
is fleeting,
but His favor
lasts a lifetime.
Weeping
may stay
the night,
but joy comes
in the morning.
O LORD,
You favored me;
You made
my mountain
stand strong.
When You hid
Your face,
I was
dismayed.
“What
gain
is in the shedding of my blood,
in my descent
to
the Pit?
Will the dust
praise You?
Will it proclaim
Your faithfulness?
that my heart
may sing
Your praises
and not
be silent.
O LORD
my God,
I will give thanks
forever.
