Psalm 30
Exaltabo te, Domine
1
I will magnify thee, O Lord, for thou hast set me up *
and not made my foes to triumph over me.
2
O Lord my God, I cried unto thee *
and thou hast healed me.
3
Thou, Lord, hast brought my soul out of hell *
thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.
4
Sing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his *
and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness.
5
For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life *
heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be removed *
thou, Lord, of thy goodness hast made my hill so strong.
7
Thou didst turn thy face from me *
and I was troubled.
8
Then cried I unto thee, O Lord *
and gat me to my Lord right humbly.
9
What profit is there in my blood *
when I go down to the pit?
10
Shall the dust give thanks unto thee *
or shall it declare thy truth?
11
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me *
Lord, be thou my helper.
12
Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy *
thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.
13
Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing *
O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
