Psaumes 30

30

A Psalme or song of the dedication of the house of Dauid. I will magnifie thee, O Lorde: for thou hast exalted mee, and hast not made my foe to reioyce ouer me.

2

O Lorde my God, I cried vnto thee, and thou hast restored me.

3

O Lorde, thou hast brought vp my soule out of the graue: thou hast reuiued me from them that goe downe into the pit.

4

Sing praises vnto the Lord, ye his Saintes, and giue thankes before the remembrance of his Holinesse.

5

For he endureth but a while in his anger: but in his fauour is life: weeping may abide at euening, but ioy commeth in the morning.

6

And in my prosperitie I sayde, I shall neuer be moued.

7

For thou Lord of thy goodnes hadest made my mountaine to stande strong: but thou didest hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8

Then cried I vnto thee, O Lord, and praied to my Lord.

9

What profite is there in my blood, when I go downe to the pit? shall the dust giue thankes vnto thee? or shall it declare thy trueth?

10

Heare, O Lorde, and haue mercy vpon me: Lord, be thou mine helper.

11

Thou hast turned my mourning into ioy: thou hast loosed my sacke and girded mee with gladnesse.

12

Therefore shal my tongue praise thee and not cease: O Lorde my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.
