Psalm 30 (Evan CM)

1 Lord, I will thee extol, for thouhast lifted me on high,And over me thou to rejoicemad’st not mine enemy.2 O thou who art the Lord my God,I in distress to thee,With loud cries lifted up my voice,and thou hast healed me.3 O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,and rescued from the grave;That I to pit should not go down,alive thou didst me save.4 O ye that are his holy ones,sing praise unto the Lord;And give unto him thanks, when yehis holiness record.5 For but a moment lasts his wrath;life in his favor lies:Weeping may for a night endure,at morn doth joy arise.6 In my prosperity I said,that nothing shall me move.7 O Lord, thou hast my mountain madeto stand strong by thy love:But when that thou, O gracious God,didst hide thy face from me,Then quickly was my prosp’rous stateturned into misery.8 Wherefore unto the Lord my cryI caused to ascend:My humble supplicationI to the Lord did send.9 What profit is there in my blood,when I go down to pit?Shall unto thee the dust give praise?thy truth declare shall it?10 Hear, Lord, have mercy; help me, Lord:11 Thou turned hast my sadnessTo dancing; yea, my sackcloth loosed,and girded me with gladness;12 That sing thy praise my glory may,and never silent be.O Lord my God, for evermoreI will give thanks to thee.
