Psalms 30 - 32 — Legacy Standard Bible

You Have Turned My Mourning into Dancing

A Psalm. A Song at the Dedication of the House. Of David.

I will ^aexalt You, O Yahweh, for You have ^blifted me up,And have not let my ^cenemies be glad over me.²O Yahweh my God,I ^acried to You for help, and You ^bhealed me.³O Yahweh, You have ^abrought up my soul from Sheol;You have kept me alive, ¹that I would not ^bgo down to the pit.⁴^aSing praise to Yahweh, you ^bHis holy ones,And ^cgive thanks for the ^dremembrance of His holy name.⁵For ^aHis anger is but for a moment,His ^bfavor is for a lifetime;Weeping may ^clast for the night,But a shout of joy comes in the morning.⁶Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,“I will ^anever be shaken.”⁷O Yahweh, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;You ^ahid Your face, I was dismayed.⁸To You, O Yahweh, I called,And to the Lord I made supplication:⁹“What profit is there in my blood, if I ^ago down to the pit?Will the ^bdust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?¹⁰“^aHear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me;O Yahweh, be my ^bhelper.”¹¹You have turned for me ^amy mourning into dancing;You have ^bloosed my sackcloth and girded me with ^cgladness,¹²That my ¹^,^aglory may sing praise to You and not be silent.O Yahweh my God, I will ^bgive thanks to You forever.

Into Your Hand I Commit My Spirit

For the choir director. A Psalm of David.

^aIn You, O Yahweh, I have taken refuge;Let me never ^bbe ashamed;^cIn Your righteousness protect me.²^aIncline Your ear to me, deliver me quickly;Be to me a ^brock of ¹strength,A fortress to save me.³For You are my ¹^,^ahigh rock and my fortress;For ^bYour name’s sake You will lead me and guide me.⁴You will ^abring me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me,For You are my ^bstrength.⁵^aInto Your hand I commit my spirit;You have ^bransomed me, O Yahweh, ^cGod of truth.⁶I hate those who ^aregard worthless idols,But I ^btrust in Yahweh.⁷I will ^arejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness,Because You have ^bseen my affliction;You have known the troubles of my soul,⁸And You have not ^agiven me over into the hand of the enemy;You have set my feet in a large place.⁹Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for ^aI am in distress;My ^beye is wasted away from grief, ^cmy soul and ¹my body also.¹⁰For my life is worn down with ^asorrowAnd my years with sighing;My ^bstrength fails because of my iniquity,And ^cmy bones waste away.¹¹Among all my adversaries, I have become a ^areproach,Especially to my ^bneighbors,And an object of dread to my acquaintances;Those who see me in the street flee from me.¹²I am ^aforgotten like a dead man—out of ¹mind—I am like a broken vessel.¹³For I have heard ¹^,^athe bad report of many,^bTerror is on every side;While they ^ctook counsel together against me,They ^dschemed to take my life.¹⁴But as for me, I trust in You, O Yahweh,I say, “^aYou are my God.”¹⁵My ^atimes are in Your hand;^bDeliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue me.¹⁶Make Your ^aface to shine upon Your slave;^bSave me in Your lovingkindness.¹⁷O Yahweh, let me not be ^aput to shame, for I call upon You;Let the ^bwicked be put to shame, let them ^cbe silent in Sheol.¹⁸Let the ^alying lips be mute,Which ^bspeak arrogantly against the righteousWith lofty pride and contempt.¹⁹How great is Your ^agoodness,Which You have stored up for those who fear You,Which You have worked for those who ^btake refuge in You,^cBefore the sons of men!²⁰You hide them in the ^asecret place of Your presence from the ^bconspiracies of man;You keep them secretly in a ¹shelter from the ^cstrife of tongues.²¹^aBlessed be Yahweh,For He has made ^bmarvelous His lovingkindness to me in a besieged ^ccity.²²As for me, ^aI said in my alarm,“I am ^bcut off from before Your eyes”;Nevertheless, You ^cheard the voice of my supplicationsWhen I cried to You for help.²³Oh, love Yahweh, all you ^aHis holy ones!Yahweh ^bguards the faithfulBut ^crepays fully the one who acts in lofty pride.²⁴^aBe strong and let your heart take courage,All you who wait for Yahweh.

You Forgave the Iniquity of My Sin

Of David. A ¹Maskil.

^aHow blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,Whose sin is covered!²How blessed is the man whose iniquity Yahweh ^awill not take into account,And in whose spirit there is ^bno deceit!³When ^aI kept silent about my sin, ^bmy ¹bones wasted awayThrough my ²^,^cgroaning all day long.⁴For day and night ^aYour hand was heavy upon me;My ¹^,^bvitality was drained away as with the heat of summer. ² Selah.⁵I ^aacknowledged my sin to You,And my iniquity I ^bdid not cover up;I said, “^cI will confess my transgressions to Yahweh;”And You ^dforgave the ¹iniquity of my sin. Selah.⁶Therefore, let every holy one pray to You ¹^,^aat a time when You may be found;Surely ^bin a flood of great waters they will not reach him.⁷You are ^amy hiding place; You ^bguard me from trouble;You surround me with ¹^,^csongs of deliverance. Selah.⁸I will ^agive you insight and teach you in the way which you should go;I will counsel you ^bwith My eye upon you.⁹Do not be ^aas the horse or as the mule which have no understanding,Whose harness are bit and bridle to control them,Otherwise they will not come near you.¹⁰Many are the ^asorrows of the wicked,But ^bhe who trusts in Yahweh, lovingkindness shall surround him.¹¹Be ^aglad in Yahweh and rejoice, you righteous ones;And shout for joy, all you who are ^bupright in heart.
