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 God's name,
whose holy wrath is brief,
whose favour knows no end.
Though tears flow at 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 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! Topics: Dance; Death; Gladness / Happiness; Joy; Lament; Metrical Psalms; Rescue ; Resurrection; Worship Scripture: Psalm 30 Used With Tune: BISHOP TUCKER
