Psalm 30

Leader: 4 Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones! 

Praise his holy name. 

5 For his anger lasts only a moment, 

but his favor lasts a lifetime! 

ALL: Weeping may last through the night, 

but joy comes with the morning. 

Leader: 6 When I was prosperous, I said, 

“Nothing can stop me now!” 

ALL: 7 Your favor, O Lord, made me as secure as a mountain. 

Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered. 

Leader: 8 I cried out to you, O Lord. 

I begged the Lord for mercy, saying, 

ALL: 9 “What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? 

Leader: Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness? 

10 Hear me, Lord, and have mercy on me. Help me, O Lord.” 

ALL: 11 You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. 

You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, 

12 that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. 

O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
