Psalm 30

New Coverdale Version

I will magnify you, O Lord, for you have lifted me up, * and have not let my foes triumph over me.

O Lord my God, I cried unto you, * and you have made me whole.

You, Lord, have brought my soul out of the Grave; * you have saved my life from among those who go down to the Pit.

Sing praises unto the Lord, O you saints of his, * and give thanks unto him for the remembrance of his holiness.

For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an eye, his pleasure for a lifetime; * heaviness may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

In my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved; * you, Lord, of your goodness, have made my hill so strong.”

You turned your face from me, * and I was distressed.

Then I cried unto you, O Lord, * and came to my Lord most humbly.

What profit is there in my bloodshed, * if I go down into the Pit?

Shall the dust give thanks unto you? * Or shall it declare your faithfulness?

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me. * O Lord, be my helper.

You have turned my lamentation into dancing; * you have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.

Therefore shall my heart sing of your praise without ceasing. * O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto you for ever.
