Psalm 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 His saints, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.

5. For His anger endureth but a moment, and in His favor 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 favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; when Thou didst hide Thy face, 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.
