Psalms 30

Thanksgiving for Answered Prayer

1 I will exalt you, O Yahweh,

because you have drawn me up,

and have not made my enemies rejoice over me.

2 O Yahweh, my God,

I cried for help to you,

and you healed me.

3 O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol.

You preserved me alive

from among those going down *According to the Kethib; the reading tradition (Qere) reads "so I would not go down" to the pit.
