Chapter 30

  A Psalm [and] Song [at] the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.  

-

  O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.  

-

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

-

  Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.  

-

  For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.  

-

  And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.  

-

  LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.  

-

  I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.  

-

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

-

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

-

  Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;  

-

  To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
