King James VersionPsalms30

Psalms

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.
