Psalm 30

¶ When Dauid was deliuered from great danger, he rendred thankes to God, exhorting others to do the like, and to learne by his example, that God is rather merciful then ſeuere and rigorous towards his children, 8 And alſo that the fall from proſperitie to aduerſitie is ſudden. 9 This done, he returneth to praier, promiſing to praiſe God for euer.
A Pſalme or ſong of the dedication of the houſe of Dauid.
1.I Wil magnifie thee, ô Lord: for thou haſt exalted me, and haſt not made my foes to reioyce ouer me.
2.O Lord my God, I cryed vnto thee, and thou haſt reſtored me.
3.O Lord, thou haſt broght vp my ſoule out of the graue: thou haſt reuiued me frō them that go downe into the pit.
4.Sing praiſes vnto the Lord, ye his Saints, and giue thankes before the remembrance of his Holines.
5.For he endureth but a while in his angre: but in his fauour is life: weping maie abide at euening, but ioye cometh in the morning.
6.And in my proſperitie I ſaid, I ſhal neuer be moued.
7.For thou Lord of thy goodnes hadeſt made my mountaine to ſtand ſtrong: but yu dideſt hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8.Then cryed I vnto thee, ô Lord, and prayed to my Lord.
9.What profit is there in my blood, whē I go downe to ye pit? ſhal the duſt giue thākes vnto thee? or ſhal it declare thy trueth?
10.Heare, ô Lord, and haue mercie vpon me: Lord, be thou mine helper.
11.Thou haſt turned my mourning into ioye: thou haſt looſed my ſacke & girded me with gladnes.
12.Therefore ſhal my tongue praiſe thee and not ceaſe: ô Lord my God, I wil giue thankes vnto thee for euer. ¶ To him that excelleth. A Pſalme of Dauid.
