Psalms 30
1 A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.
A Psalme or song of the dedication of the house of David. I will magnifie thee, O Lord: for thou hast exalted mee, and hast not made my foe to reioyce ouer me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
O Lord my God, I cried vnto thee, and thou hast restored me.
O Lord, thou hast brought vp my soule out of the graue: thou hast reuiued me from them that goe downe into the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
Sing praises vnto the Lord, ye his Saintes, and giue thankes before the remembrance of his Holinesse.
5 For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
For he endureth but a while in his anger: but in his fauour is life: weeping may abide at euening, but ioy commeth in the morning.
6 In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
And in my prosperitie I sayde, I shall neuer be moued.
7 O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
For thou Lord of thy goodnes hadest made my mountaine to stande strong: but thou didest hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
Then cried I vnto thee, O Lord, and praied to my Lord.
9 “What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
What profite is there in my blood, when I go downe to the pit? shall the dust giue thankes vnto thee? or shall it declare thy trueth?
10 Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
Heare, O Lord, and haue mercy vpon me: Lord, be thou mine helper.
11 You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
Thou hast turned my mourning into ioy: thou hast loosed my sacke and girded mee with gladnesse.
12 that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
Therefore shall my tongue praise thee and not cease: O Lord my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.
