Text -- Psalms 30:4-12 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
30:4 Sing to the Lord, you faithful followers of his; give thanks to his holy name. 30:5 For his anger lasts only a brief moment, and his good favor restores one’s life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning. 30:6 In my self-confidence I said, “I will never be upended.” 30:7 O Lord, in your good favor you made me secure. Then you rejected me and I was terrified. 30:8 To you, O Lord, I cried out; I begged the Lord for mercy: 30:9 “What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty? 30:10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me! O Lord, deliver me!” 30:11 Then you turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy. 30:12 So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent; O Lord my God, I will always give thanks to you.
