Psalms 30:10
8 To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
9 “What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
11 You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
