Psalm 30

Exaltabo te, Domine

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.
