Psalm 30

Exaltabo te, Domine

I will magnify thee, O Lord, for thou hast set me up *

and not made my foes to triumph over me.

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee *

and thou hast healed me.

Thou, Lord, hast brought my soul out of hell *

thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.

Sing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his *

and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness.

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.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be removed *

thou, Lord, of thy goodness hast made my hill so strong.

Thou didst turn thy face from me *

and I was troubled.

Then cried I unto thee, O Lord *

and gat me to my Lord right humbly.

What profit is there in my blood *

when I go down to the pit?

Shall the dust give thanks unto thee *

or shall it declare thy truth?

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me *

Lord, be thou my helper.

Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy *

thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.

Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing *

O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Psalm 149

Cantate Domino

O sing unto the Lord a new song *

let the congregation of saints praise him.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him *

and let the children of Sion be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his Name in the dance *

let them sing praises unto him with tabret and harp.

For the Lord hath pleasure in his people *

and helpeth the meek-hearted.

Let the saints be joyful with glory *

let them rejoice in their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their mouth *

and a two-edged sword in their hands;

To be avenged of the heathen *

and to rebuke the people;

To bind their kings in chains *

and their nobles with links of iron.

That they may be avenged of them, as it is written *

Such honour have all his saints.
