Chapter 30

30,1

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David.

30,2

I will extol thee, O Lord, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.

30,3

O Lord my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;

30,4

O Lord, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

30,5

Sing praise unto the Lord, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.

30,6

For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.

30,7

Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'

30,8

Thou hadst established, O Lord, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold-- Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.

30,9

Unto Thee, O Lord, did I call, and unto the Lord I made supplication:

30,10

'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?

30,11

Hear, O Lord, and be gracious unto me; Lord, be Thou my helper.'

30,12

Thou didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;

30,13

So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
