“1 <<A Psalm [and] Song [at] the dedication of the house of David.>> 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 [endureth but] a moment; in his favour
[is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] 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, [and] I was troubled. 8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD
I made supplication. 9 What profit [is there] 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 [my] glory
may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give
thanks unto thee for ever.” (Psalm 30:1-12 AV)
