Psalm 30. Exaltabo te, Domine.

1. I WILL magnify thee, O Lord; for thou hast set me up, *
   and not made my foes to triumph over me.
2. O Lord my God, I cried unto thee; *
   and thou hast healed me.
3. Thou, Lord, hast brought my soul out of hell: *
   thou hast kept my life, that I should not go down into the pit.
4. Sing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his; *
   and give thanks unto him, for a remembrance of his holiness.
5. For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life; *
   heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6. And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be removed: *
   thou, Lord, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.
7. Thou didst turn thy face from me, *
   and I was troubled.
8. Then cried I unto thee, O Lord; *
   and gat me to my Lord right humbly.
9. What profit is there in my blood, *
   when I go down into the pit?
10. Shall the dust give thanks unto thee? *
    or shall it declare thy truth?
11. Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; *
    Lord, be thou my helper.
12. Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy; *
    thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness:
13. Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing. *
    O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
