Psalm 30

Revised Version 1895

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

1I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast raised meH1004 up, and hast notH1732 made my foes to rejoice over meH1004.

2O LORDH3068 my GodH3068, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed meH7311.

3O LORDH3068, thou hast brought upH413 my soul from Sheol: thou hast kept meH413 alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4Sing praise unto the LORDH3068, O ye saints of his, and giveH5927 thanks to his holy name.

5For his anger is but for a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.

6As for meH3588, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

7Thou, LORD, of thy favour hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

8I cried to thee, O LORDH3068; and unto the LORDH3068 I madeH1961 supplication:

9What profit is there in my blood, when I go downH7121 to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10HearH5046, O LORD, and have mercy uponH413 meH413: LORD, be thou my helper.

11Thou hast turnedH1961 for meH1961 my mourning intoH1961 dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded meH1961 with gladness:

12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will giveH2015 thanks unto thee for ever.
