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
Joy Comes with the Morning
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of #2 Sam. 5:11; 1 Chr. 22:1the temple.
1I will #Ps. 107:32 extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes #Ps. 25:2; 35:19, 24; [Ps. 13:4]rejoice over me.
2O Lord my God, I #Ps. 88:13 cried to you for help,
and you have #See Ps. 6:2healed me.
3O Lord, you have brought up my soul from #See Ps. 16:10 Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who #Ps. 28:1go down to the pit.#30:3 Or to life, that I should not go down to the pit
4Sing praises to the Lord, O you #Ps. 50:5 his saints,
and #Ps. 97:12; [1 Chr. 16:4]give thanks to his holy name.#30:4 Hebrew to the memorial of his holiness (see Exodus 3:15)
5 # [Ps. 103:9; Job 33:26; Isa. 26:20; 54:7, 8] For his anger is but for a moment,
and #Ps. 63:3 his favor is for a lifetime.#30:5 Or and in his favor is life
# [2 Cor. 4:17, 18] Weeping may tarry for the night,
but #Ps. 126:5 (Heb.)joy comes with the morning.
6As for me, I said in my #[Job 29:18; Prov. 1:32] prosperity,
“I shall never be #Ps. 10:6moved.”
7By your favor, O Lord,
you made my #[2 Sam. 5:9] mountain stand strong;
you #Ps. 104:29; [Deut. 31:17] hid your face;
I was #[2 Sam. 24:10]dismayed.
8To you, O Lord, I cry,
and #Ps. 142:1to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9“What profit is there in my death,#30:9 Hebrew in my blood
if I go down to the pit?#30:9 Or to corruption
Will #See Ps. 6:5the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 #
Ps. 27:7
Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”
11You have turned for me my mourning into #Ex. 15:20; 2 Sam. 6:14; Jer. 31:4, 13; [Ps. 149:3; 150:4; Lam. 5:15]dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12that my #See Ps. 16:9glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
