Psalms - Chapter 30

Chapter 29 | Psalms | Contents

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.
