Psalms 30
30
He Healed Me
King David’s poetic praise to God
A song for the Feast of Dedication of the dwelling place
1Lord, I will exalt you and lift you high,
for you have lifted me up on high!
Over all my boasting, gloating enemies,
you made me to triumph.
2O Lord, my healing God,
I cried out for a miracle and you healed me!
3You brought me back from the brink of death,
from the depths below.
Now here I am, alive and well, fully restored!
4O sing and make melody, you steadfast lovers of God.
Give thanks to him every time you reflect on his holiness!
5I’ve learned that his anger lasts for a moment,
but his loving favor lasts a lifetime! # 30:5 The Septuagint reads “There is wrath in his anger but life in his will [promise].”
We may weep through the night,
but at daybreak it will turn into shouts of ecstatic joy.
6-7I remember boasting, “I’ve got it made!
Nothing can stop me now!
I’m God’s favored one; he’s made me steady as a mountain!”
But then suddenly, you hid your face from me.
I was panic-stricken and became depressed.
8Still I cried out to you, Lord God. I shouted out for mercy, saying,
9“What would you gain in my death,
if I were to go down to the depths of darkness?
Will a grave sing your song?
How could death’s dust declare your faithfulness?”
10So hear me now, Lord; show me your famous mercy.
O God, be my Savior and rescue me!
11Then he broke through and transformed all my wailing
into a whirling dance of ecstatic praise!
He has torn the veil and lifted from me
the sad heaviness of mourning.
He wrapped me in the glory-garments of gladness.
12How could I be silent when it’s time to praise you?
Now my heart sings out, bursting with joy—
a bliss inside that keeps me singing,
“I can never thank you enough!”

Psalm 30
Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.
A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.
1I will exalt You, Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
2Lord my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
3Lord, You have brought up my soul from #30:3 I.e., the netherworldSheol;
You have kept me alive, #30:3 Some mss from among those who go downthat I would not go down to the pit.
4Sing praise to the Lord, you His godly ones,
And praise the mention of His holiness.
5For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
6¶Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I will never be moved.”
7Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
8To You, Lord, I called,
And to the Lord I pleaded for compassion:
9“What gain is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?
10¶“Hear, Lord, and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper.”
11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;
You have untied my sackcloth and encircled me with joy,
12That my #30:12 Lit glorysoul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
