Psalm 30:4-12
King James Version
4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To 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.

Psalm 30:4-12
New King James Version
4 (A)Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of [a]His holy name.
5 For (B)His anger is but for a moment,
(C)His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But [b]joy comes in the morning.
6 Now in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be [c]moved.”
7 Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
(D)You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:
9 “What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
(E)Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper!”
11 (F)You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off [d]my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12 To the end that my [e]glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
