“I will extol You, O LORD, for You have drawn me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O LORD, my God, I cried to You for help, and You have healed me. O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
Sing praises to the Lord, O you, His saints, and give thanks to His Holy Name. For His anger is but for a moment, and His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
By Your favor, O LORD, You made my mountain stand strong; and hid Your face; I was dismayed. To You, O LORD, I cry, and to the LORD, I plead for mercy.
What profit is there in death if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You?
Will it tell of Your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: You have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing Your praise and not be silent.
O LORD, my God, I will give thanks to You forever.”
Psalm 30, written by God through His servant psalmist, David
For you who like a little soul music, this “Mourning Into Dancing” song, by Ron Kenoly, will be just the ticket to praise Him through your day:
Will He turn your mourning into dancing? I hope He always does.
*(LORD in all caps means Yahweh—Adoni)
Enjoy this day the Lord has made. I think I’ll bake a batch of cookies for the guys………….chocolate chip or Snickerdoodle………..or something new. 🙂
I always love the pictures of the farm and how you use them with Bible verses, and the variety in your repertoire of music is inspiring! Love you cuz! Joan
Thank you so much! I was feeling a bit nervous mixing the psalm with the harvest scenes, but ended up doing it anyway.
You are a wonderful supporter and I’m very grateful for the encouragement. Take care!
