Ps 30

¹I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
²O LORD my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
³O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.
⁴Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones,
And give thanks to His holy name.
⁵For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
⁶Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I will never be moved."
⁷O LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
⁸To You, O LORD, I called,
And to the Lord I made supplication:
⁹"What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?
¹⁰"Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me;
O LORD, be my helper."
¹¹You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
¹²That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

V4 My heart commands my own children "Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name."

V6-8 I have said, when feeling like God's best-friend, that nothing can move me. But You have let me go to test me and I felt lost...I call to You Lord, "Never let me go..." (but He will to grow us...read Day 32 post of the same color)

V9 Jesus Himself said on His final ride to Jerusalem (1st Palm Sunday) that if those who were praising Him stopped the very rocks would cry out (Luke 19:39-40) But I ask, "Lord, how would You reward the rocks with Your favor and would rocks love You back?" *in innocence with much wonderment*
