30 1 When David was delivered, from great danger, he rendered thanks to God, exhorting others to do the like, and to learn by his example, that God is rather merciful than severe and rigorous towards his children. 7 And also that the fall from prosperity to adversity is sudden. 8 This done, he returneth to prayer, promising to praise God forever.

(A)A Psalm or song of the (B)dedication of the [a]house of David.

I will magnify thee, O Lord: [b]thou hast exalted me, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast [c]restored me.

O Lord, thou hast brought up my [d]soul out of the grave: thou hast revived me from them that go down into the pit.
