RSV Psalms 30 Chapter
30:1
A Psalm of David. A Song at the dedication of the Temple. I will extol thee, O LORD, for thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let my foes rejoice over me.
30:2
O LORD my God, I cried to thee for help, and thou hast healed me.
30:3
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
30:4
Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
30:5
For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
30:6
As for me, I said in my prosperity, 'I shall never be moved.'
30:7
By thy favor, O LORD, thou hadst established me as a strong mountain;thou didst hide thy face, I was dismayed.
30:8
To thee, O LORD, I cried;and to the LORD I made supplication:
30:9
'What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise thee? Will it tell of thy faithfulness?
30:10
Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me! O LORD, be thou my helper!'
30:11
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing;thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
30:12
that my soul may praise thee and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.
