Psalms 30

¹I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up,

²O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

³O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:

⁴Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his,

⁵For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:

⁶And in my prosperity I said,

⁷Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:

⁸I cried to thee, O Lord;

⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

¹⁰Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me:

¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:

¹²To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
