PSALM 30

				1  I will extol You, O LORD, for You
				   have lifted me up,
				   And have not let my foes
				   Rejoice over me.
				2  O LORD my God, I cried out to 
				   You,
				   And You healed me.
				3  O LORD, You brought my soul
				   up from the grave;
				   You have kept me alive,
				   That I should not go down to
				   The pit.
				
				4  Sing praise to the LORD, you
				   saints of His,
				   And give thanks at the 
				   Remembrance of His holy
				   Name.
				5  For His anger is but for a 
				   moment,
				   His favor is for life;
				   Weeping may endure for a
				   Night,
				   But joy comes in the morning.
				
				6  Now in my prosperity I said,
				   "I shall never be moved."
				7  LORD, by Your favor You have
				   made my mountain stand
				   strong;
				   You hid Your face, and I was
				   Troubled.
				
				8  I cried out to You, O LORD;
				   And to the LORD I made
				   Supplication:
				9  "What profit is there in my blood,
				   When I go down to the pit?
				   Will the dust praise You?
				   Will it declare Your truth?
				10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy
				   on me;
				   LORD, be my helper!"
				
				11 You have turned for me my
				   mourning into dancing;
				   You have put off my sackcloth
				   And clothed me with
				   Gladness,
				12 To the end that my glory may
				   sing praise to You and not be
				   silent.
				   O LORD my God, I will give
				   Thanks to You forever.
