PSALM 30
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1Lord, I will thee extol, for thou
hast lifted me on high,
And over me thou to rejoice
mad'st not mine enemy.
2O thou who art the Lord my God,
I in distress to thee,
With loud cries lifted up my voice,
and thou hast healed me.
3O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,
and rescu'd from the grave;
That I to pit should not go down,
alive thou didst me save.
4O ye that are his holy ones,
sing praise unto the Lord;
And give unto him thanks, when ye
his holiness record.
5For but a moment lasts his wrath;
life in his favour lies:
Weeping may for a night endure,
at morn doth joy arise.
6In my prosperity I said,
that nothing shall me move.
7O Lord, thou hast my mountain made
to stand strong by thy love:
But when that thou,
O gracious God,
didst hide thy face from me,
Then quickly was my prosp'rous state
turn'd into misery.
8Wherefore unto the Lord my cry
I caused to ascend:
My humble supplication
I to the Lord did send.
9What profit is there in my blood,
when I go down to pit?
Shall unto thee the dust give praise?
thy truth declare shall it?
10Hear, Lord, have mercy; help me, Lord:
11Thou turned hast my sadness
To dancing; yea, my sackcloth loos'd,
and girded me with gladness;
12That sing thy praise my glory may,
and never silent be.
O Lord my God, for evermore
I will give thanks to thee.

PSALM 30
A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.
1I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me. 2Jehovah my God#GodHebrew: Elohim I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 3Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit. 4Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness. 5For a moment is passed in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.
6As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. 7Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled. 8I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication: 9What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? 10Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper. 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 12That my glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God#GodHebrew: Elohim I will praise thee for ever.
