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
30
Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up,
and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2O Lord my God, I cried unto thee,
and thou hast healed me.
3O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:
thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his,
and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5For his anger endureth but a moment;
in his favor is life:
weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.
6And in my prosperity I said,
I shall never be moved.
7 Lord, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:
thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8I cried to thee, O Lord;
and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9What profit is there in my blood,
when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee?
Shall it declare thy truth?
10Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me:
Lord, be thou my helper.
11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:
thou hast put off my sackcloth,
and girded me with gladness;
12to 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.
