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.

12And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
²And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
³And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
⁴But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
¹³But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

¹³But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
¹⁵For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
¹⁶For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
¹⁷Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
¹⁸Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
