Psalms 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.
