for you have raised me up;
I cried to you for help,
and you restored my life.
You brought me back from death
and saved me from the grave.
2 Sing praises to the LORD,
all those who know his name;
for while his wrath is brief,
his favor knows no end.
Though tears flow for a night,
the morning brings new joy.
3 I said, "I am so strong,
I never shall be moved";
but you, LORD, shook my life--
my heart was in distress.
I cried out for your help
and pleaded for your grace:
4 "What good am I when dead,
while lying in the grave?
Can dust recount your love,
the grave proclaim your praise?
O hear me, gracious LORD,
in mercy be my aid!"
5 My mourning you have turned
to dancing and to joy;
my sadness you dispelled
as gladness filled my soul.
And so I'll sing your praise,
my God, through all my days. Scripture: Psalm 30 Used With Tune: BISHOP TUCKER
I Worship You, O LORD
