Psalms

30 0 A ^aPsalm and Song at the ^bdedication of the house of David.

1 I WILL ^cextol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

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

3 O ^eLORD, thou hast brought up my soul from ^fthe grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 ^gSing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks ¹at the remembrance of his holiness.

5 ^hFor ²his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure ³for a night, but ⁴joy cometh in the morning.

6 And ⁱin my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

7 LORD, ^jby thy favour thou hast ⁵made my mountain to stand strong: thou ^kdidst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8 I ^lcried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

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

10 ⁿHear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning ^ointo dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and ^*girded me with gladness;

12 To the end that ⁶my ^pglory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. ^qO LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
