Psalms, 30

A melody. A song of inauguration of the house. Of David.

1 I shall exalt you, O Jehovah,*1 for you have drawn me up And you have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

  1. See App 1C §10.

2 O Jehovah*1 my God, I cried to you for help, and you proceeded to heal me.

  1. See App 1C §10.

3 O Jehovah, you have brought up my soul from Sheʹol*1 itself; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down into the pit.

  1. “Sheol.” Heb., sheʼohlʹ; Gr., haiʹdou; Lat., in·ferʹno. See App 4B.

4 Make melody to Jehovah,*1 O YOU loyal ones of his, Give thanks to his holy memorial;*2

  1. See App 1C §10.

  2. “To his holy memorial.” Lit., “for memorial (mention) of his holiness.” Heb., lezeʹkher qodh·shohʹ.

5 Because being under his anger is for a moment, Being under his goodwill is for a lifetime. In the evening weeping may take up lodging, but in the morning there is a joyful cry.

6 As for me, I have said in my ease: “Never shall I be made to totter.”

7 O Jehovah,*1 in your goodwill you have made my mountain to stand in strength. You concealed your face; I became one that is disturbed.

  1. See App 1C §10.

8 To you, O Jehovah,*1 I kept calling; And to Jehovah*2 I kept making entreaty for favor.

  1. See App 1C §10.

  2. One of 134 scribal changes from YHWH to ʼAdho·naiʹ. See App 1B.

9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit?*1 Will the dust laud you? Will it tell of your trueness?*2

  1. “Pit.” Heb., shaʹchath; T, “heart of the grave”; LXXSyVg, “corruption.”

  2. Or, “truthfulness; truth.”

10 Hear, O Jehovah,*1 and show me favor. O Jehovah,*2 prove yourself my helper.

  1. See App 1C §10.

  2. See App 1C §10.

11 You have changed my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosened my sackcloth, and you keep me girded with rejoicing,

12 In order that [my] glory*1 may make melody to you and not keep silent. O Jehovah*2 my God, to time indefinite I will laud you.

  1. “My glory,” LXXVg.

  2. See App 1C §10.
