hope

This is for someone out there who's lost hope. If God pulled King David out of some pit of despair, He'll do it for you & me.


Psalm30:1 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,* 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!
