Psalms 30

PSALM 30
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1Lord, I will thee extol, for thou
hast lifted me on high,
And over me thou to rejoice
mad'st not mine enemy.
2O thou who art the Lord my God,
I in distress to thee,
With loud cries lifted up my voice,
and thou hast healed me.
3O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,
and rescu'd from the grave;
That I to pit should not go down,
alive thou didst me save.
4O ye that are his holy ones,
sing praise unto the Lord;
And give unto him thanks, when ye
his holiness record.
5For but a moment lasts his wrath;
life in his favour lies:
Weeping may for a night endure,
at morn doth joy arise.
6In my prosperity I said,
that nothing shall me move.
7O Lord, thou hast my mountain made
to stand strong by thy love:
But when that thou,
O gracious God,
didst hide thy face from me,
Then quickly was my prosp'rous state
turn'd into misery.
8Wherefore unto the Lord my cry
I caused to ascend:
My humble supplication
I to the Lord did send.
9What profit is there in my blood,
when I go down to pit?
Shall unto thee the dust give praise?
thy truth declare shall it?
10Hear, Lord, have mercy; help me, Lord:
11Thou turned hast my sadness
To dancing; yea, my sackcloth loos'd,
and girded me with gladness;
12That sing thy praise my glory may,
and never silent be.
O Lord my God, for evermore
I will give thanks to thee.

PSALM 30.
1Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.
2In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
3Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
4For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name's sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
5Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
6Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
7Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
8I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
9And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
10Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
11For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
12I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
13I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
14For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
15But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
16My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
17Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
18Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
19Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
20O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
21Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
22Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
23But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
24O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
25Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
