('Earth has many a noble city')
Psalm 30
********
I will. O LORD, extol you high
For you have heard me, my cry
You have lifted me up, I see
My foes not rejoice o'er me
O LORD my God, I cried to you
You all my heart and mind know
You have healed me, brought up my soul
From grave and have made me whole
Sing unto the LORD, saints of His
Give thanks to Him in joy, bliss
Remember His holiness pure
His graces, mercies e'er sure
His anger endures a moment
In His favour life He sent
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes with the daylight
He has turned for me my mourning
Into a dancing morning
He has put off my sackcloth, and
Girded me with garments glad
To the end that my glory, [my] tongue
May tell of Him, raises sung
My soul be not silent, but raise
Worship to Him all my days
