MHRPC: Psalm 30A

Psalm 30

Angel's Story, 76.76.D. [B]

1. ¹ O LORD, I will exalt You,
        For You have lifted me;
My foes You have allowed not
        To glory over me.
² O LORD my God, I pleaded
        That You might heal and save;
³ LORD, You from death have ransomed
        And kept me from the grave.

2. ⁴ His saints, O praise Jehovah
        And thank His holy name.
⁵ His anger lasts a moment,
        His grace a whole life time.
For sorrow, like a pilgrim,
        May tarry all the night,
But then a shout of joy comes
        When dawns the morning light.

3. ⁶ In prosperous days I boasted,
        "Unmoved I shall remain."
⁷ O LORD, You by Your favor
        My mount in strength maintain;
For when Your face was hidden,
        I soon was troubled sore.
⁸ I'll cry to You, Jehovah;
        The LORD I will implore.

4. ⁹ Is there in my blood profit
        When in the grave I dwell?
Will dust proclaim Your praises,
        Your truth and glory tell?
¹⁰ O hear me now, Jehovah!
        Be gracious unto me!
To You I cry, Jehovah!
        O now my helper be!

5. ¹¹ You now have turned my sorrow
        To dancing full of joy;
You loosened all my sack-cloth
        And girded me with joy.
¹² To You sing psalms, my glory,
        And never silent be!
O LORD my God, I'll thank You
        Through all eternity.
