Psalm 30
Douay-Rheims Bible

Mourning Turned into Dancing

1{29:1}A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house. [2] I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

2{29:3}O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.

3{29:4}Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.

4{29:5}Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

5{29:6}For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

6{29:7}And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

7{29:8}O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

8{29:9}To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

9{29:10}What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

10{29:11}The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

11{29:12}Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

12{29:13}To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
