Psalm 30

Psalm 30

*A *Psalm and Song †at the dedication of the house of David.

1  aI will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up,

And hast aanot made my foes to rejoice over me.

2  O Lord my God, bI cried unto thee, and thou hast bbhealed me.

3  O Lord, cthou hast brought up my soul from dthe grave:

Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not ego down to the pit.

4  Sing unto the Lord, O ye fsaints of his,

And give thanks ||at the remembrance of his holiness.

5  For g†his anger endureth but a moment; hin his favour is life:

iWeeping may endure †for a night, but †joy cometh jin the morning.

6  And kin my prosperity I said,

lI shall never be moved.

7  Lord, by thy favour thou hast †made my mountain to stand strong:

mThou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8  I cried to thee, O Lord;

And mmunto the Lord I made supplication.

9  What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

nShall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10  oHear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me:

Lord, be thou my helper.

11  Thou hast turned for me my mourning pinto dancing:

Thou hast put off my qsackcloth, 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.
