Psalms 30:8

6 Now in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be¹ moved.”

7 Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
^aYou hid Your face, and I was troubled.

8 I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:

9 “What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
^aWill the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?

10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper!”

11 ^aYou have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off¹ my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

12 To the end that my¹ glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Psalms 30:8

I cried to thee, O Lord - I found no help but in him against whom I had sinned. See his confession and prayer, II Samuel 24:17 (note).

Made supplication - Continued to urge my suit; was instant in prayer.
