Psalm 30

The Psalmist Says:

I will exalt you, O Lord,
  for you lifted me out of the depths
  and did not let my enemies gloat over me
O Lord, my God, I called to you for help
  and you healed me.
O Lord, you brought me up from the grave
  you spared me from going down into the pit.

 The Psalmist Doris Says:

I will adore you, O Lord,
  for you have saved my life
  and not let my old ways overtake me.
O Lord, my God,  I beseeched you
 and cried out your name in my darkest night
 and you touched me.
O Lord, you brought me up from the depths of despair
  you glanced my being with your love.

The Psalmist Says:

Sing to the Lord, you saints of his;
  praise his holy name.
For his anger lasts only a moment,
  but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night
  but rejoicing comes in the morning.


The Psalmist Doris Says:
Shout to the Lord, you minions;
  in a voice of unison glorify his
  holy name.
For his disdain lasts only as far as the
  breath draws in,
  but his goodwill lasts eons,
darkness may remain for an evening
  but come morning the light of the sun rises once again,
  and the path of the day is well laid out.
