Psalms 30 The anger of God lasts only a moment, but his love endures forever

 Psalms 30

The anger of God lasts only a moment, but his love endures forever

1 I will exalt you, O Lord, for you have lifted me up; you have not made my enemies rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried out to you, and you healed me.

3 You have brought up my soul from Sheol; you have kept me alive, so that I should not go down to the pit.

4 Sing to the Lord, you his saints, and give thanks to his holiness.

5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but in his favor is life; Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved."

7 By your favor, O Lord, you have made my mountain strong; you have hidden your face, and I was troubled.

8 To you, O Lord, I cried, and to the Lord I made supplication.

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your truth?

10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me, O Lord; be my help.

11 You turned my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.

12 So that my glory may sing praise to you and not be silent: O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
