Psalm 30
1I
will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive,
that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing
unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure
for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6And
in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7LORD,
by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise
thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10Hear,
O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11Thou
hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my
God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
