Psalm 30

New International Version

Psalm 30^[a]

A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.^[b] Of David.

¹I will exalt^(A) you, Lord,
    for you lifted me out of the depths^(B)
    and did not let my enemies gloat over me.^(C)
²Lord my God, I called to you for help,^(D)
    and you healed me.^(E)
³You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;^(F)
    you spared me from going down to the pit.^(G)

⁴Sing^(H) the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;^(I)
    praise his holy name.^(J)
⁵For his anger^(K) lasts only a moment,^(L)
    but his favor lasts a lifetime;^(M)
weeping^(N) may stay for the night,
    but rejoicing comes in the morning.^(O)

⁶When I felt secure, I said,
    “I will never be shaken.”^(P)
⁷Lord, when you favored me,
    you made my royal mountain^[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,^(Q)
    I was dismayed.

⁸To you, Lord, I called;
    to the Lord I cried for mercy:
⁹“What is gained if I am silenced,
    if I go down to the pit?^(R)
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it proclaim your faithfulness?^(S)
¹⁰Hear,^(T) Lord, and be merciful to me;^(U)
    Lord, be my help.^(V)”

¹¹You turned my wailing^(W) into dancing;^(X)
you removed my sackcloth^(Y) and clothed me with joy,^(Z)
¹²that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise^(AA) you forever.^(AB)

New International Version

¹¹Woe^(A) to those who rise early in the morning
    to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night
    till they are inflamed with wine.^(B)
¹²They have harps and lyres at their banquets,
    pipes^(C) and timbrels^(D) and wine,
but they have no regard^(E) for the deeds of the Lord,
    no respect for the work of his hands.^(F)
¹³Therefore my people will go into exile^(G)
    for lack of understanding;^(H)
those of high rank^(I) will die of hunger
    and the common people will be parched with thirst.^(J)
¹⁴Therefore Death^(K) expands its jaws,
    opening wide its mouth;^(L)
into it will descend their nobles and masses
    with all their brawlers and revelers.^(M)
¹⁵So people will be brought low^(N)
    and everyone humbled,^(O)
    the eyes of the arrogant^(P) humbled.
¹⁶But the Lord Almighty will be exalted^(Q) by his justice,^(R)
    and the holy God will be proved holy^(S) by his righteous acts.
¹⁷Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture;^(T)
    lambs will feed^[a] among the ruins of the rich.

New International Version

To the Church in Laodicea

¹⁴“To the angel of the church in Laodicea^(A) write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness,^(B) the ruler of God’s creation.^(C) ¹⁵I know your deeds,^(D) that you are neither cold nor hot.^(E) I wish you were either one or the other! ¹⁶So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. ¹⁷You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’^(F) But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.^(G) ¹⁸I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire,^(H) so you can become rich; and white clothes^(I) to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness;^(J) and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

¹⁹Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.^(K) So be earnest and repent.^(L) ²⁰Here I am! I stand at the door^(M) and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door,^(N) I will come in^(O) and eat with that person, and they with me.

²¹To the one who is victorious,^(P) I will give the right to sit with me on my throne,^(Q) just as I was victorious^(R) and sat down with my Father on his throne. ²²Whoever has ears, let them hear^(S) what the Spirit says to the churches.”
