Psalm 30 (Garments of Joy)

I will exalt You, O Lord, my God
For You lifted me up out of the depths
And You did not let my enemies gloat
I called for help and You answered me

You brought me up from the grave
And You spared me from going down to the ground

Sing to the Lord, you saints of His
And praise His name, His holy name
For His anger lasts only a moment
But His favor lasts a whole lifetime

Weeping may remain for a night
But in the morning rejoicing comes
Weeping may remain for a night
But in the morning rejoicing comes

When I felt secure, I said
I will never be shaken
I will never be shaken
Lord, when You favored me
You made my mountain stand firm
You made my mountain stand firm

But when You hid Your face from me
Lord, then I was dismayed
To You, O Lord, I called
To the Lord I cried for mercy
Hear, O Lord, have mercy on me
Be my help, be my help

What gain is in my destruction
In my going to the ground?
Will the dust give praise to You Lord?
Will the dust proclaim you faithfulness?
Hear, O Lord, have mercy on me
Be my help, be my help

You turned my waiting into dancing
You took my sackcloth and You clothed me
With garments of joy
That my heart may sing to You, Lord
Sing, sing and not be silent
Thanks be to the Lord
