Psalms 30 — BBE

A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David.

30Verse 1I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.
^{Verse 2}O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.
^{Verse 3}O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.
^{Verse 4}Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.
^{Verse 5}For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
^{Verse 6}When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.
^{Verse 7}Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.
^{Verse 8}My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.
^{Verse 9}What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
^{Verse 10}Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
^{Verse 11}By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
^{Verse 12}So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
