Psalm 30

A psalm of David. A song for the dedication of the Temple.

1 I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me.
You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.2 O LORD my God, I cried to you for help,
and you restored my health.3 You brought me up from the grave,t O LORD.
You kept me from falling into the pit of death.4 Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones!
Praise his holy name.5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime!
Weeping may last through the night,
but joy comes with the morning.6 When I was prosperous, I said,
“Nothing can stop me now!”7 Your favor, O LORD, made me as secure as a mountain.
Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.8 I cried out to you, O LORD.
I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,9 “What will you gain if I die,
if I sink into the grave?
Can my dust praise you?
Can it tell of your faithfulness?10 Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me.
Help me, O LORD.”11 You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.
You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,12 that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!

Psalm 31

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

1 O LORD, I have come to you for protection;
don’t let me be disgraced.
Save me, for you do what is right.2 Turn your ear to listen to me;
rescue me quickly.
Be my rock of protection,
a fortress where I will be safe.3 You are my rock and my fortress.
For the honor of your name, lead me out of this danger.4 Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me,
for I find protection in you alone.5 I entrust my spirit into your hand.
Rescue me, LORD, for you are a faithful God.6 I hate those who worship worthless idols.
I trust in the LORD.7 I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love,
for you have seen my troubles,
and you care about the anguish of my soul.8 You have not handed me over to my enemies
but have set me in a safe place.9 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress.
Tears blur my eyes.
My body and soul are withering away.10 I am dying from grief;
my years are shortened by sadness.
Sin has drained my strength;
I am wasting away from within.11 I am scorned by all my enemies
and despised by my neighbors—
even my friends are afraid to come near me.
When they see me on the street,
they run the other way.12 I am ignored as if I were dead,
as if I were a broken pot.13 I have heard the many rumors about me,
and I am surrounded by terror.
My enemies conspire against me,
plotting to take my life.14 But I am trusting you, O LORD,
saying, “You are my God!”15 My future is in your hands.
Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly.16 Let your favor shine on your servant.
In your unfailing love, rescue me.17 Don’t let me be disgraced, O LORD,
for I call out to you for help.
Let the wicked be disgraced;
let them lie silent in the grave.t18 Silence their lying lips—
those proud and arrogant lips that accuse the godly.19 How great is the goodness
you have stored up for those who fear you.
You lavish it on those who come to you for protection,
blessing them before the watching world.20 You hide them in the shelter of your presence,
safe from those who conspire against them.
You shelter them in your presence,
far from accusing tongues.21 Praise the LORD,
for he has shown me the wonders of his unfailing love.
He kept me safe when my city was under attack.22 In panic I cried out,
“I am cut off from the LORD!”
But you heard my cry for mercy
and answered my call for help.23 Love the LORD, all you godly ones!
For the LORD protects those who are loyal to him,
but he harshly punishes the arrogant.24 So be strong and courageous,
all you who put your hope in the LORD!

Psalm 32

A psalm of David.

1 Oh, what joy for those
whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is put out of sight!2 Yes, what joy for those
whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt,t
whose lives are lived in complete honesty!3 When I refused to confess my sin,
my body wasted away,
and I groaned all day long.4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat.
Interlude5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the LORD.”
And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.
Interlude6 Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time,
that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.7 For you are my hiding place;
you protect me from trouble.
You surround me with songs of victory.
Interlude8 The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.9 Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”10 Many sorrows come to the wicked,
but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD.11 So rejoice in the LORD and be glad, all you who obey him!
Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
