Psalms 30:8-12

8I called to you for help, Lord. I asked you to be kind to me, my Lord.

9If I go down into the deep hole of death, that will not help you! My dead body cannot praise you there! It cannot tell people to trust you!

10Lord, please listen to me! Please be kind to me! Lord, please be my helper!

11Now you have caused me to stop crying, so that I dance instead! I do not need to wear sackcloth, because I am no longer sad. Instead, you have made me very happy.

12So I am truly happy and I will sing to praise you. I cannot stay quiet! Lord, my God, I will continue to thank you for ever.
