Psalms 30

1 A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the random Bible verse generator work?

Choose a topic, a book, and KJV or WEB, then select Generate New Verse. Every result comes from a real, numbered Scripture passage. The tools are free and do not require an account.

Is Orahly non-denominational?

Yes. Orahly is an independent, non-denominational Scripture tool for reading and reflection. It does not represent a church, and its content does not replace pastoral care or professional advice.

What is the difference between KJV and WEB?

The King James Version uses traditional English, while the World English Bible uses modern English. Some verse numbering differs between editions. Orahly preserves each edition and never silently substitutes another translation.

Is there a browser or mobile widget?

Download the free offline Chrome/Edge new-tab extension from the Widget page. Native mobile and desktop widgets are still concept previews; they are not installable apps yet.

Can I copy or share a Bible verse?

Yes. Select Copy to copy the verse and its reference, or Share Image to create an image in a square or portrait format. You can also copy a link that opens the exact same verse.
