Psalms 30
30
A song of David for the dedication of the Temple.#Psalm 30 A song … Temple Or “A psalm. The song for the dedication of the house. Dedicated to David.”
1Lord, you lifted me out of my troubles.
You did not give my enemies a reason to laugh,
so I will praise you.
2Lord my God, I prayed to you,
and you healed me.
3Lord, you lifted me out of the grave.
I was falling into the place of death, but you saved my life.
4Praise the Lord, you who are loyal to him!
Praise his holy name#30:4 name Literally, “memory” or “memorial.”!
5His anger lasts for a little while,
but then his kindness brings life.
The night may be filled with tears,
but in the morning we can sing for joy!
6When I was safe and secure,
I thought nothing could hurt me.
7Yes, Lord, while you were kind to me,
I felt that nothing could defeat me.#30:7 I felt … defeat me Literally, “You placed me on the strong mountains.”
But when you turned away from me,
I was filled with fear.
8So, Lord, I turned and prayed to you.
I asked you, Lord, to show me mercy.
9I said, “What good is it if I die
and go down to the grave?
The dead just lie in the dirt.
They cannot praise you.
They cannot tell anyone how faithful you are.
10Lord, hear my prayer, and be kind to me.
Lord, help me!”
11You have changed my sorrow into dancing.
You have taken away my sackcloth
and clothed me with joy.
12You wanted me to praise you and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever!

Psalm 30
A psalm by David sung at the dedication of the temple.
1I will honor you highly, O Lord,
because you have pulled me out ⌞of the pit⌟
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
2O Lord my God,
I cried out to you for help,
and you healed me.
3O Lord, you brought me up from the grave.
You called me back to life
from among those who had gone into the pit.
4Make music to praise the Lord, you faithful people who belong to him.
Remember his holiness by giving thanks.
5His anger lasts only a moment.
His favor lasts a lifetime.
Weeping may last for the night,
but there is a song of joy in the morning.
6When all was well with me, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
7O Lord, by your favor you have made my mountain stand firm.
When you hid your face, I was terrified.
8I will cry out to you, O Lord.
I will plead to the Lord for mercy:
9“How will you profit if my blood is shed,
if I go into the pit?
Will the dust ⌞of my body⌟ give thanks to you?
Will it tell about your truth?”
10Hear, O Lord, and have pity on me!
O Lord, be my helper!
11You have changed my sobbing into dancing.
You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
12so that my soul #30:12 Or “glory.” may praise you with music and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
