29:13. To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever. Psalms Chapter 30 In te, Domine, speravi. A prayer of a just man under affliction. 30:1. Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy. 30:2. In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice. 30:3. Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me. 30:4. For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name's sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me. 30:5. Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector. 30:6. Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth. 30:7. Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord: 30:8. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou hast regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses. 30:9. And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place. 30:10. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly: 30:11. For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed. 30:12. I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me. 30:13. I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed. 30:14. For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life. 30:15. But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God. 30:16. My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me. 30:17. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy. 30:18. Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. 30:19. Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse. 30:20. O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men. 30:21. Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues. 30:22. Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city. 30:23. But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee. 30:24. O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
