JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.
1(30-1) A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David. (30-2) I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
2(30-3) O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;
3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.
3(30-4) O LORD, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
4(30-5) Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
5(30-6) For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
6(30-7) Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'
7O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
7(30-8) Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold — Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
8To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
8(30-9) Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD I made supplication:
9“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
9(30-10) 'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?
10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
10(30-11) Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.'
11You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
11(30-12) Thou didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;
12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
12(30-13) So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
