Psalm 30

¹I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
²O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
³O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
⁴Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
⁵For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
⁶And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
⁷Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
⁸I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
¹⁰Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
¹²To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

¹⁴So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
¹⁵And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
¹⁶Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
¹⁷Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
¹⁸But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the Lord, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
¹⁹Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the Lord.
²⁰Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.

1Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
²And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
³Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
⁴I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
⁵Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
⁶That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
⁷For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
⁸Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
⁹Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
¹⁰I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
¹¹Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
¹²Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
¹³Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
¹⁴But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
¹⁵For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
¹⁶Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
¹⁷If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
¹⁸If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
¹⁹I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
²⁰Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
²¹Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
²²But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
²³There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
²⁴Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
²⁵The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
