PSALM 30
In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me not be put to shame in the
age to come; in Thy righteousness deliver me, and rescue me.

Bow down Thine ear unto me, make haste to rescue me, be Thou
unto me a God to defend me and a house of refuge to save me.

For my strength and my refuge art Thou, and for Thy name's sake
wilt Thou guide me and nourish me.

Thou wilt bring me out of this snare which they have hid for me,
for Thou art my defender, O Lord.

Into Thy hands I will commit my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, O
Lord God of truth.

Thou hast hated them that cling to empty vanities; but I have
hoped in the Lord.

I will rejoice and be glad in Thy mercy, for Thou hast regarded my
lowliness; Thou hast saved my soul out of necessities,

And hast not shut me up in the hands of enemies; Thou hast set
my feet in a spacious place.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted; mine eye is troubled
with anger, as also my soul and my belly.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings; my
strength hath grown weak in poverty, and my bones are troubled.

I am become a reproach among all mine enemies, and greatly for
my neighbors also, and a fear to mine acquaintances. They that
saw me without fled from me.
