Psalm 30

New King James Version

The Blessedness of Answered Prayer

A Psalm. A Song ^(A)at the dedication of the house of David.

30 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have ^(B)lifted me up,
And have not let my foes ^(C)rejoice over me.
²O Lord my God, I cried out to You,
And You ^(D)healed me.
³O Lord, ^(E)You brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive, ^[a]that I should not go down to the pit.

⁴^(F)Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of ^[b]His holy name.
⁵For ^(G)His anger is but for a moment,
^(H)His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But ^[c]joy comes in the morning.

⁶Now in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be ^[d]moved.”
⁷Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
^(I)You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

⁸I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:
⁹“What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
^(J)Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
¹⁰Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper!”

¹¹^(K)You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off ^[e]my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
¹²To the end that my ^[f]glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

New King James Version

The Son of Promise^(A)

18 Then the Lord appeared to him by ^[a]the ^(B)terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. ²^(C)So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; ^(D)and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, ³and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. ⁴Please let ^(E)a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. ⁵And ^(F)I will bring a morsel of bread, that ^(G)you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, ^(H)inasmuch as you have come to your servant.”

They said, “Do as you have said.”

⁶So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.” ⁷And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. ⁸So ^(I)he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.

New King James Version

¹²Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid. ¹³But when you give a feast, invite ^(A)the poor, the ^[a]maimed, the lame, the blind. ¹⁴And you will be ^(B)blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”
