Ps 30:5

Ps 30:7

⁸ I will exult and be glad in thy mercy:

Ps 30:8

⁹ And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy:

Ps 30:10

¹¹ For my life is spent with grief,

Ps 30:11

Ps 30:16

Ps 30:20

²¹ Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man:

Ps 30:21

²³ But I said in my extreme fear,

Ps 30:23
