CHAP. XXX.

1 Dauid prayseth God for his deliuerance. 4 He exhorteth others to praise him by example of Gods dealing with him.

1 [A Psalme, and song at the dedication of the house of Dauid.] I wil extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast lifted me vp; and hast not made my foes to reioyce ouer me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried vnto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3 O Lord, thou hast brought vp my soule from the graue: thou hast kept me aliue, that I should not goe downe to the pit.

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his fauour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but ioy commeth in the morning.5

6 And in my prosperitie I said, I shall neuer be mooued.

7 Lord, by thy fauour thou hast made my mountaine to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.7

8 I cried to thee, O Lord: and vnto the Lord I made supplication.

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I goe downe to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy trueth?9

10 Heare, O Lord, and haue mercie vpon me: Lord be thou my helper.

11 Thou hast turned for mee my mourning into dauncing: thou hast put off my sackecloth, and girded mee with gladnesse:

12 To the end that my glory may sing prayse to thee, and not be silent: O Lord my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.12
