Psalm 30

Exaltabo te Domine

  1. I will magnify thee, O Lord, for thou hast set me up : and not made my foes to triumph over me.
  2. O Lord my God, I cried unto thee : and thou hast healed me.
  3. Thou, Lord, hast brought my soul out of hell : thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.
  4. Sing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his : and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness.
  5. For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life : heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
  6. And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be removed : thou, Lord, of thy goodness hast made my hill so strong.
  7. Thou didst turn thy face from me : and I was troubled.
  8. Then cried I unto thee, O Lord : and gat me to my Lord right humbly.
  9. What profit is there in my blood : when I go down to the pit?
  10. Shall the dust give thanks unto thee : or shall it declare thy truth?
  11. Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me : Lord, be thou my helper.
  12. Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy : thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.
  13. Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing : O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
