Book 1
XXX.
1 A Psalm; a song of the dedication of the house of David.
2 I extol thee, O Jehovah, for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me.
3 O Jehovah, my God, I have cried for help unto thee, and thou healest me.
4 Thou, O Jehovah, hast brought up my soul from Sheol; thou hast kept me alive from going down to the pit.
5 Sing praises unto Jehovah, ye his holy ones, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
6 For a moment [is] in his anger, a life [is] in his favor; weeping remaineth in the evening, but in the morning rejoicing.
7 And I, I said in my prosperity I shall not be moved forever.
8 O Jehovah, in thy favor thou hast established strength for my mountain; thou hast hidden thy face: I have been confounded.
9 Unto thee, O Jehovah, I call, and unto Jehovah do I supplicate.
10 What gain [is] in my blood, in my going down to the pit? Shall dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
11 Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious to me; O Jehovah, be a helper unto me.
12 Thou hast turned my lamentation into a dance; thou hast loosed for me my sackcloth, and thou girdest me with joy:
13 So that glory may sing praise to thee and not be silent. O Jehovah, my God, I will give thee thanks forever.
