Psalm 30:8-12 (Listen)

To you, O Lord, I cry,

and jto the Lord I plead for mercy:

“What profit is there in my death,1

if I go down to the pit?2

Will kthe dust praise you?

Will it tell of your faithfulness?

10 lHear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!

O Lord, be my helper!”

11 You have turned for me my mourning into mdancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness,

12 that my nglory may sing your praise and not be silent.

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