1 A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David. 2 \30:1\I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.3 \30:2\O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.4 \30:3\O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.5 \30:4\Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.6 \30:5\For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.7 \30:6\When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.8 \30:7\Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.9 \30:8\My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.10 \30:9\What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?11 \30:10\Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.12 \30:11\By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;13 \30:12\So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
1 [A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.] I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.2 Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.3 Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.4 Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.5 For a moment {is passed} in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.7 Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.8 I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:9 What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?10 Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;12 That {my} glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.
