Psalm 30 ~ Asking for Joy

Psalm 30 ~ Asking for Joy

Trials will come. God brings Joy. Pray for His Joy.

Psalm 30:5 “… Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Psalm 30

1 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried to You for help,
    and You have healed me.

3 O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
    You restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you His saints,
    and give thanks to His holy name.

5 For His anger is but for a moment,
    and His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
    “I shall never be moved.”

7 By Your favor, O Lord,
    You made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face;
    I was dismayed.

8 To You, O Lord, I cry,
    and to the Lord I plead for mercy:

9 “What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
    Will it tell of Your faithfulness?

10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!”

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
    You have loosed my sackcloth
    and clothed me with gladness,

12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever!
