Psalm 30

21st Century King James Version

30 I will extol Thee, O Lord, for Thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

² O Lord my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me.

³ 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.

⁴ Sing unto the Lord, O ye His saints, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.

⁵ For His anger endureth but a moment, and in His favor is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

⁶ And in my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved.”

⁷ Lord, by Thy favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; when Thou didst hide Thy face, I was troubled.

⁸ I cried to Thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication:

⁹ “What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? Shall it declare Thy truth?

¹⁰ Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; Lord, be Thou my helper!”

¹¹ Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,

¹² 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.
