Psalm 30
Thanksgiving for
Deliverance from Death |
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of
David. |
|
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,
|
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 favor is life: |
weeping may endure for a night, |
but joy cometh in the morning.
|
|
|
6 |
And in my prosperity I said,
|
7 |
LORD, by thy favor
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:
|
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. |
