30:1 | | <A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David.> I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me. |
30:2 | | O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well. |
30:3 | | O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead. |
30:4 | | Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name. |
30:5 | | For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning. |
30:6 | | When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved. |
30:7 | | Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled. |
30:8 | | My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord. |
30:9 | | What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help? |
30:10 | | Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper. |
30:11 | | By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy; |
30:12 | | So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever. |
