Psalm 30

Posted by Traci at 9:50 PM

1 I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up,

         And have not let my foes rejoice over me.

 2 O LORD my God, I cried out to You,

         And You healed me.

 3 O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave;

         You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

         

 4 Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His,

         And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

 5 For His anger is but for a moment,

         His favor is for life;

         Weeping may endure for a night,

         But joy comes in the morning.

         

 6 Now in my prosperity I said,

         “I shall never be moved.”

 7 LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;

         You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

         

 8 I cried out to You, O LORD;

         And to the LORD I made supplication:

 9 “What profit is there in my blood,

         When I go down to the pit?

         Will the dust praise You?

         Will it declare Your truth?

 10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;

         LORD, be my helper!”

         

 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

         You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.

         O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
