# Psalms 30 [[Psalms 29|←]] • [[Psalms 31|→]] --- A Psalm Song the dedication of the house of David. ### 1 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 saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. ### 5 For his anger a moment; in his favour life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy in the morning. ### 6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. ### 7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: 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 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 glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
