Psalms 30

ESV

MSG

1 I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
1 I give you all the credit, God - you got me out of that mess, you didn't let my foes gloat.
2 O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.
2 God, my God, I yelled for help and you put me together.
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.
3 God, you pulled me out of the grave, gave me another chance at life when I was down-and-out.
4 Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
4 All you saints! Sing your hearts out to God! Thank him to his face!
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.
5 He gets angry once in a while, but across a lifetime there is only love. The nights of crying your eyes out give way to days of laughter.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
6 When things were going great I crowed, "I've got it made.
7 By your favor, O LORD, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed.
7 I'm God's favorite. He made me king of the mountain." Then you looked the other way and I fell to pieces.
8 To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
8 I called out to you, God; I laid my case before you:
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?
9 "Can you sell me for a profit when I'm dead? auction me off at a cemetery yard sale? When I'm 'dust to dust' my songs and stories of you won't sell.
10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!"
10 So listen! and be kind! Help me out of this!"
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
11 You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers.
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
12 I'm about to burst with song; I can't keep quiet about you. God, my God, I can't thank you enough.
