| Chapter
30 |
1 | I will
extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to
rejoice over me. |
2 | O LORD
my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. |
3 | O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the
grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. |
4 | Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints
of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. |
5 | For his anger endureth but a moment; in
his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the
morning. |
6 | And in my
prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. |
7 | LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand
strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. |
8 | I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the
LORD I made supplication. |
9 |
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust
praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? |
10 | Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my
helper. |
11 | Thou hast
turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and
girded me with gladness; |
12 |
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD
my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. |
