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.

¹²I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
¹³The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
¹⁴Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
¹⁵By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
¹⁶By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
¹⁷I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
¹⁸Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
¹⁹My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
²⁰I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

6Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
²Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
³That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
⁴And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
⁵Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
⁶Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
⁷With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
⁸Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
⁹And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
¹⁰Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
¹¹Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
¹²For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
¹³Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
¹⁴Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
¹⁵And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
¹⁶Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
¹⁸Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
¹⁹And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
²⁰For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
²¹But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
²²Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
²³Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
²⁴Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
