Psalm 30:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Lord, you showed me favor,
established for me mountains of virtue.
But when you hid your face
I was struck with terror.(A)
9 To you, Lord, I cried out;
with the Lord I pleaded for mercy:
10 [a]“What gain is there from my lifeblood,
from my going down to the grave?
Does dust give you thanks
or declare your faithfulness?
