Psalms 30 — ILT

30Verse 1“A psalm, a song at the dedication of the temple, of David.” (30:2) I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not suffered my enemies to rejoice over me.^{Verse 2}(30:3) O Lord my God, I cried loudly unto thee, and thou hast healed me.^{Verse 3}(30:4) O Lord, thou hast brought up from the nether world my soul: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.^{Verse 4}(30:5) Sing unto the Lord, O ye his pious ones, and give thanks to the memorial of his holiness.^{Verse 5}(30:6) For his anger is momentary, [but] life is in his favor: in the evening [cometh] weeping to stay for a night, but in the morning, there is joyful song.^{Verse 6}(30:7) And I had said indeed in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.^{Verse 7}(30:8) Lord, by thy favor hadst thou caused my mountain to stand in strength: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was terrified.^{Verse 8}(30:9) Unto thee, O Lord, will I call; and unto the Lord will I make supplication.^{Verse 9}(30:10) What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the grave? Shall the dust thank thee? shall it announce thy truth?^{Verse 10}(30:11) Hear, O Lord, and be gracious unto me: Lord, be thou a helper unto me.^{Verse 11}(30:12) Thou hast changed my mourning into dancing for me; thou hast loosened my sack-cloth, and girded me with joy.^{Verse 12}(30:13) To the end that my glorious soul may sing praise to thee, and never be silent. O Lord my God, for ever will I give thanks unto thee.
