Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.

30 I will (A)exalt You, Lord, for You have (B)lifted me up,
And have not let my (C)enemies rejoice over me.
Lord my God,
I (D)cried to You for help, and You (E)healed me.
Lord, You have (F)brought up my soul from [a]Sheol;
You have kept me alive, [b]that I would not (G)go down to the pit.
(H)Sing praise to the Lord, you (I)His godly ones,
And (J)praise the mention of His holiness.
For (K)His anger is but for a moment,
His (L)favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may (M)last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I will (N)never be moved.”
Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You (O)hid Your face, I was dismayed.
To You, Lord, I called,
And to the Lord I pleaded for compassion:
“What gain is there in my blood, if I (P)go down to the pit?
Will the (Q)dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

10 (R)Hear, Lord, and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my (S)helper.”
11 You have turned (T)my mourning into dancing for me;
You have (U)untied my sackcloth and encircled me with (V)joy,
12 That my [c](W)soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will (X)give thanks to You forever.

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House (Temple). A Psalm of David.

30 I will extol and praise You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

O Lord my God,
I cried to You for help, and You have healed me.

O Lord, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead);
You have kept me alive, so that I would not go down to the pit (grave).

Sing to the Lord, O you His godly ones,
And give thanks at the mention of His holy name.

For His anger is but for a moment,
[a]His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may endure for a night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.(A)


As for me, in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be moved.”

By Your favor and grace, O Lord, you have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was horrified.

I called to You, O Lord,
And to the Lord I made supplication (specific request).

“What profit is there in my blood (death), if I go down to the pit (grave)?
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness [to man]?

10 
“Hear, O Lord, be gracious and show favor to me;
O Lord, be my helper.”
11 
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me;
You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 
That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

  1. Psalm 30:5 Or in His favor is life.

Acción de gracias por haber sido librado de la muerte

Salmo. Cántico para la dedicación de la Casa. Salmo de David.

30 Te ensalzaré, oh Señor(A), porque me has elevado(B),
Y no has permitido que mis enemigos se rían de mí(C).
Oh Señor, Dios mío,
A Ti pedí auxilio(D) y me sanaste(E).
Oh Señor, has sacado mi alma del Seol(F);
Me has guardado con vida, para que no descienda al sepulcro(G).
Canten alabanzas(H) al Señor, ustedes Sus santos(I),
Y alaben(J) Su santo nombre(K).
Porque Su ira es solo por un momento(L),
Pero Su favor es por toda una vida(M).
El llanto puede durar toda la noche,
Pero a la mañana vendrá el grito de alegría(N).

En cuanto a mí, en mi prosperidad dije:
«Jamás seré conmovido(O)».
Oh Señor, con Tu favor has hecho que mi monte permanezca fuerte;
Tú escondiste Tu rostro(P), fui conturbado.
A Ti, oh Señor, clamé,
Y al Señor dirigí mi súplica:
«¿Qué provecho hay en mi sangre[a] si desciendo al sepulcro(Q)?
¿Acaso te alabará el polvo(R)? ¿Anunciará Tu fidelidad[b]?

10 »Escucha, oh Señor, y ten piedad de mí(S);
Oh Señor, sé Tú mi ayuda(T)».
11 Tú has cambiado mi lamento en danza(U);
Has desatado mi ropa de luto(V) y me has ceñido de alegría(W);
12 Para que mi alma te cante alabanzas y no esté callada(X).
Oh Señor, Dios mío, te daré gracias por siempre(Y).
