Psalms 30

  1. 1I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
  2. 2O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
  3. 3O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
  4. 4Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial [supplied: name].
  5. 5For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy [supplied: cometh] in the morning.
  6. 6As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
  7. 7Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
  8. 8I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:
  9. 9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
  10. 10Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.
  11. 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
  12. 12To the end that [supplied: my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. Psalm 31 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
