Psalms 30:4-12 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

4. O ye that are his holy ones,sing praise unto the Lord;And give unto him thanks, when yehis holiness record.

5. For but a moment lasts his wrath;life in his favour lies:Weeping may for a night endure,at morn doth joy arise.

6. In my prosperity I said,that nothing shall me move.

7. O Lord, thou hast my mountain madeto stand strong by thy love:But when that thou,O gracious God,didst hide thy face from me,Then quickly was my prosp'rous stateturn'd into misery.

8. Wherefore unto the Lord my cryI caused to ascend:My humble supplicationI to the Lord did send.

9. What profit is there in my blood,when I go down to pit?Shall unto thee the dust give praise?thy truth declare shall it?

10. Hear, Lord, have mercy; help me, Lord:

11. Thou turned hast my sadnessTo dancing; yea, my sackcloth loos'd,and girded me with gladness;

12. That sing thy praise my glory may,and never silent be.O Lord my God, for evermoreI will give thanks to thee.
