ASV · American Standard Version

Psalms 30

1I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up,

2O Jehovah my God,

3O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol;

4Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his,

5For his anger is but for a moment;

6As for me, I said in my prosperity,

7Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:

8I cried to thee, O Jehovah;

9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

10Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me:

11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing;

12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
