30 A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

² Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

³ Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit.

⁴ Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

⁵ For -- a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

⁶ And I -- I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved -- to the age.

⁷ O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.

⁸ Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.

⁹ `What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'

¹¹ Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy.

¹² So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!

³ And he said unto them, `Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats each;

⁴ and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and thence depart;

⁵ and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony against them.'

⁶ And going forth they were going through the several villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere.
