Psalms 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!”

1A psalm. A song for the dedication of the house. By David:
2I will exalt you, Adonai, because you drew me up;
you didn’t let my enemies rejoice over me.
3Adonai my God, I cried out to you,
and you provided healing for me.
4Adonai, you lifted me up from Sh’ol;
you kept me alive when I was sinking into a pit.
5Sing praise to Adonai, you faithful of his;
and give thanks on recalling his holiness.
6For his anger is momentary,
but his favor lasts a lifetime.
Tears may linger for the night,
but with dawn come cries of joy.
7Once I was prosperous and used to say,
that nothing could ever shake me —
8when you showed me favor, Adonai,
I was firm as a mighty mountain.
But when you hid your face,
I was struck with terror.
9I called to you, Adonai;
to Adonai I pleaded for mercy:
10“What advantage is there in my death,
in my going down to the pit?
Can the dust praise you?
Can it proclaim your truth?
11Hear me, Adonai, and show me your favor!
Adonai, be my helper!”
12You turned my mourning into dancing!
You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
13so that my well-being can praise you and not be silent;
Adonai my God, I will thank you forever!
