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