Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Psalms of David 30

Deli

His wrath has but a moment’s reign, His favour no decay; Your night of grief is recompens’d With joy’s returning day.

’Tis done! Thou hast my mournful scene To songs and dances turn’d; Invested me with robes of state, Who late in sackcloth mourn’d. Exalted thus, I’ll gladly sing Thy praise in grateful verse; And, as thy favours endless are, Thy endless praise rehearse.

In my distress I cried to thee, Who kindly didst relieve, And from the grave’s expecting jaws My hopeless life retrieve.

Thus to his courts, ye saints of his, With songs of praise repair; With me commemorate his truth, And providential care.

I’LL celebrate thy praises, Lord, Who didst thy pow’r employ To raise my drooping head, and check My foes’ insulting joy.
