| Chapter 30 |
1 |
{A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.} I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.
|
2 |
Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
|
3 |
Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.
|
4 |
Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.
|
5 |
For a moment [is passed] in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.
|
6 |
As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
|
7 |
Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
|
8 |
I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:
|
9 |
What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
|
10 |
Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.
|
11 |
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
|
12 |
That [my] glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.
