My own poetic rendition of Psalm 30

Drawn me up, drawn me near
Pulled me close, held me dear
No foes rejoice, nor mockers disdain,
Victory is mine, Your praise to proclaim
In brokenness you healed me
In mourning Your joy it filled me
Raised me from the dead
Paid the ransom on my head
Oh, Restorer of life You came
Your faithfulness I exclaim
Your anger is just but brief
But Your grace will never cease
Though I weep throughout the night
Your joy greets me by morning light
I stand only by Your grace
I'm lost when You hide Your face
To You, O LORD, I cry
Without Your mercy I will surely die
You've heard, LORD, hear again
Help! Rescue me from sin.
In sackcloth I wept and wailed
Now I dance, Your joy prevailed!
My whole being will sing Your praise
Silence will no longer fill my days
Oh YAHWEH, a thankful heart I give
As long as you will let me live
