Psalm 30
Expanded Bible
Thanksgiving for Escaping Death
A psalm of David. A song for ·giving the Temple to the Lord [L the dedication of the Temple; C perhaps written by David in anticipation of the dedication of the Temple under Solomon; the connection with healing is uncertain].
30 I will ·praise [L exalt] you, Lord,
because you ·rescued me [L brought me up].
You did not let my enemies ·laugh at [rejoice over] me.
2 Lord, my God, I ·prayed to you [cried to you for help],
and you healed me.
3 You lifted me out of ·the grave [or the underworld; L Sheol];
you spared me from going down to the ·place of the dead [L Pit; 16:10].
4 Sing praises to the Lord, you ·who belong to him [loyal ones; saints];
·praise [give thanks to] his holy name.
5 His anger lasts only a moment,
but his ·kindness [favor] lasts for a lifetime.
Crying may last for a night,
but joy comes in the morning.
6 When I ·felt safe [or was prosperous], I said,
“I will never ·fear [L be moved].”
7 Lord, in your ·kindness [favor] you made my mountain ·safe [L stand; C God made him prosperous and safe].
But when you ·turned away [L hid your face; C because he became self-reliant, v. 6], I was ·frightened [terrified; or discouraged].
8 I ·called [prayed] to you, Lord,
and ·asked you to have mercy on me [made supplication].
9 I said, “What ·good will it do if I die [profit is there for you in my blood]
or if I go down to ·the grave [corruption; destruction]?
·Dust cannot [L Will the dust…?; Gen. 2:7; Eccl. 12:7] ·praise [thank] you;
·it cannot [L will it…?] speak about your ·truth [faithfulness].
10 Lord, hear me and have mercy on me.
Lord, help me.”
11 You changed my ·sorrow [mourning] into dancing.
You took away my ·clothes of sadness [sackcloth],
and clothed me in ·happiness [joy].
12 I will sing to you and not be silent.
Lord, my God, I will ·praise you [give you thanks] forever.
Psalm 30
English Standard Version
Joy Comes with the Morning
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of (A)the temple.
30 I will (B)extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes (C)rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I (D)cried to you for help,
and you have (E)healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from (F)Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who (G)go down to the pit.[a]
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you (H)his saints,
and (I)give thanks to his holy name.[b]
5 (J)For his anger is but for a moment,
and (K)his favor is for a lifetime.[c]
(L)Weeping may tarry for the night,
but (M)joy comes with the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my (N)prosperity,
“I shall never be (O)moved.”
7 By your favor, O Lord,
you made my (P)mountain stand strong;
you (Q)hid your face;
I was (R)dismayed.
8 To you, O Lord, I cry,
and (S)to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,[d]
if I go down to the pit?[e]
Will (T)the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 (U)Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into (V)dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my (W)glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

诗篇 30
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
稱頌 神拯救脫離死亡
大衛的詩：獻殿之歌。
30 耶和華啊！我要尊崇你，因為你曾救拔我，
不容我的仇敵向我誇耀。
2 耶和華我的 神啊！
我曾向你呼求，
你也醫治了我。
3 耶和華啊！你曾把我從陰間救上來，
使我存活，不至於下坑。
4 耶和華的聖民哪！你們要歌頌耶和華，
讚美他的聖名。
5 因為他的怒氣只是短暫的，
他的恩惠卻是一生一世的；
夜間雖然不斷有哭泣，
早晨卻必歡呼。
6 至於我，我在安穩的時候曾說：
“我必永不動搖。”
7 耶和華啊！你的恩寵，使我堅立，如同大山；
你一掩面，我就驚惶。
8 耶和華啊！我曾向你呼求；
我曾向我主懇求，說：
9 “我被害流血，下到深坑，有甚麼益處呢？
塵土還能稱讚你，還能傳揚你的信實嗎？
10 耶和華啊！求你垂聽，恩待我；
耶和華啊！求你幫助我。”
11 你已經把我的悲哀變為舞蹈，
把我的麻衣脫去，又給我穿上歡樂；
12 好讓我的靈（“靈”或譯：“榮耀”或“肝”；與16:9，57:8，108:1同）歌頌你，永不停止。
耶和華我的 神啊！我要永遠稱讚你。
