Psalm 30 (Mourning Into Dancing) Elizabeth Enalls I will extol You, O Lord For You have lifted me You haven’t let my enemies rejoice over me O Lord my God, I cried to You, You healed me You raised my life up from the grave You have preserved my life so I would not go down to the pit All you saints, sing praises to the Lord And to His holy name, give thanks For His anger is only for a moment His favor lasts a lifetime Weeping may endure for the night But joy comes with the morning light When I was prospering, I said, “I won’t be moved” By Your steadfast love, You made my mountain stand strong When You hid Your face, I was dismayed I cried out to You, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me O Lord, be my helper” Then You answered You have turned my mourning into dancing You took off my mourning clothes and you clothed me with joy So my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent Lord my God, I’ll thank you forever I will thank you forever You’ve turned my mourning into dancing You took off my mourning clothes and you clothed me with joy
