The Book of 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.
