Psalms 30

1I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

1A Psalm. --A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

1 I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

2O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

2Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

2O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.

3O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

3Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down <FI>to<Fi> the pit.

3O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.

4Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial name.

4Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

4Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.

5For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy cometh in the morning.

5For--a moment <FI>is<Fi> in His anger, Life <FI>is<Fi> in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

5For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

6As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

6And I--I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved--to the age.

6When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.

7Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

7O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face--I have been troubled.

7Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

8I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

8Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.

8My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

9`What gain <FI>is<Fi> in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

9What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

10Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.

10Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'

10Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.

11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

11Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me <FI>with<Fi> joy.

11By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;

12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

12So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!

12So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
