Psalm 30:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Lord, I will give you honor. You brought me out of deep trouble. You didn't give my enemies the joy of seeing me die.

2. Lord my God, I called out to you for help. And you healed me.

3. Lord, you brought me up from the edge of the grave. You kept me from going down into the pit.

4. Sing to the Lord, you who are faithful to him. Praise him, because his name is holy.

5. His anger lasts for only a moment. But his favor lasts for a person's whole life. Sobbing can remain through the night. But joy comes in the morning.
