Psalm 30

Revised Geneva Translation

30 I will magnify You, O LORD. You have exalted me and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

² O LORD, my God, I cried to You; and You have restored me.

³ O LORD, You have brought up my soul out of the grave. You have revived me from those who go down into the pit.

⁴ Sing praises to the LORD, His Saints, and give thanks before the remembrance of His Holiness.

⁵ For His anger endures but a while. In His favor is life. Weeping may abide at evening, but joy comes in the morning.

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

⁷ For You, LORD, from Your goodness, had made my mountain to stand strong. You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

⁸ Then I cried to You, O LORD, and prayed to my LORD.

⁹ What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit! Shall the dust give thanks to You? Or shall it declare Your Truth?

¹⁰ Hear, O LORD; and have mercy upon me. LORD, be my Helper.

¹¹ You have turned my mourning into joy. You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.

¹² Therefore, my tongue shall praise You, and not cease. O LORD, my God, I will give thanks to You forever. To him who excels: A Psalm of David.
