PSALM 30
David sings praises and gives thanks to the Lord—He pleads for mercy.
A PSALM AND SONG AT THE DEDICATION OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID.
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 ahealed me.
3
O Lord, thou hast abrought up my bsoul 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
aFor his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but bjoy 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 aface, and I was troubled.
8
I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9
aWhat profit is there in my bblood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the cdust 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 amourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with bgladness;
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.
