Psalms 30:8

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

He said, “I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.

Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.

Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill.

Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.

For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.

To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”

I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Then I called on Yahweh’s name: “Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul.”

What will I give to Yahweh for all his benefits toward me?

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.
