Psalm 30 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

Psa 30:1<A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David.> I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

Psa 30:2

Psa 30:2O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.

Psa 30:3

Psa 30:3O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.

Psa 30:4

Psa 30:4Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.

Psa 30:5

Psa 30:5For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Psa 30:6

Psa 30:6When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.

Psa 30:7

Psa 30:7Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

Psa 30:8

Psa 30:8My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

Psa 30:9

Psa 30:9What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

Psa 30:10

Psa 30:10Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.

Psa 30:11

Psa 30:11By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;

Psa 30:12

Psa 30:12So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
