Psalm 30 | Liturgical Calendar

1

I will magnify you, O Lord, for you have lifted me up, *

and have not let my foes triumph over me.

2

O Lord my God, I cried unto you, *

and you have made me whole.

3

You, Lord, have brought my soul out of the Grave; *

you have saved my life from among those who go down to the Pit.

4

Sing praises unto the Lord, O you saints of his; *

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

5

For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an eye, his pleasure for a lifetime; *

heaviness may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

6

In my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved; *

you, Lord, of your goodness, have made my hill so strong.”

7

You turned your face from me, *

and I was distressed.

8

Then I cried unto you, O Lord, *

and came to my Lord most humbly.

9

What profit is there in my bloodshed, *

if I go down into the Pit?

10

Shall the dust give thanks unto you? *

Or shall it declare your faithfulness?

11

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me. *

O Lord, be my helper.

12

You have turned my lamentation into dancing; *

you have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.

13

Therefore shall my heart sing of your praise without ceasing. *

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