Psalm 30
EasyEnglish Bible
David wrote this song. He asks God to bless the Temple.
Thank you, Lord[a]
30 Lord, I will praise you,
because you have saved me from death.
You have not let my enemies laugh at me.
2 Lord, my God, I called to you for help,
and you have made me well again.
3 Lord, you pulled me up
out of the deep hole of death.
You saved me
from among those who are going into the grave.
4 Sing to the Lord,
you people who trust him.
Praise his holy name.
5 His anger continues only for a moment,
but he is kind to us for our whole life.
You may be sad all through the night,
but in the morning, you will be happy again.[b]
6 When I was feeling safe and strong,
I thought, ‘Nothing can ever destroy me.’
7 But Lord, it was you who made my kingdom strong,
because you are so kind.
But then you turned away from me,
and I became very afraid.[c]
8 I called to you for help, Lord.
I asked you to be kind to me, my Lord.
9 If I go down into the deep hole of death,
that will not help you!
My dead body cannot praise you there!
It cannot tell people to trust you!
10 Lord, please listen to me!
Please be kind to me!
Lord, please be my helper!
11 Now you have caused me to stop crying,
so that I dance instead!
I do not need to wear sackcloth,
because I am no longer sad.
Instead, you have made me very happy.[d]
12 So I am truly happy and I will sing to praise you.
I cannot stay quiet!
Lord, my God,
I will continue to thank you for ever.

- 30:1 In this psalm, David thanks God for taking care of him. Sometimes David had trouble. He thought that he would die. But when he asked God for help, God was very kind to him. Then David remembered to thank God. He tells other people to praise God too. We can all use Psalm 30 when God answers our prayers.
- 30:5 David was very ill. He thought that he would soon die. He prayed to God. God made him well again. So he asks everyone that believes in God to praise God with him. God was angry only for a short time.
- 30:7 David thought that he had made himself safe. God showed David that this was not true. It was only God that made David safe and strong.
- 30:11 David is now happy again. He does not need to wear rough clothes (sackcloth) any more. People wore sackcloth to show that they were very sad.

Psalm 30
Revised Geneva Translation
30 I will magnify You, O LORD. You have exalted me and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD, my God, I cried to You; and You have restored me.
3 O LORD, You have brought up my soul out of the grave. You have revived me from those who go down into the pit.
4 Sing praises to the LORD, His Saints, and give thanks before the remembrance of His Holiness.
5 For His anger endures but a while. In His favor is life. Weeping may abide at evening, but joy comes in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity, I said, “I shall never be moved.”
7 For You, LORD, from Your goodness, had made my mountain to stand strong. You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8 Then I cried to You, O LORD, and prayed to my LORD.
9 What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit! Shall the dust give thanks to You? Or shall it declare Your Truth?
10 Hear, O LORD; and have mercy upon me. LORD, be my Helper.
11 You have turned my mourning into joy. You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.
12 Therefore, my tongue shall praise You, and not cease. O LORD, my God, I will give thanks to You forever. To him who excels: A Psalm of David.

Siempre te alabaré
Canto para la dedicación del templo. Canción de David.
1 SEÑOR, yo te alabo porque tú me sacaste del peligro
y no les diste motivo a mis enemigos de alegrarse con mi desgracia.
2 SEÑOR Dios mío, clamé por tu ayuda
y tú me sanaste.
3 SEÑOR, tú me sacaste del lugar de la muerte[a];
estaba al borde de la tumba y me diste vida.
4 Que cante al SEÑOR todo su pueblo fiel
y honre su sagrado nombre.
5 Porque su enojo dura sólo por un momento,
pero luego su favor sigue dando vida.
Por la noche hubo llanto,
pero al amanecer hubo canto.
6 Yo pensaba, muy seguro,
que nada podía vencerme.
7 Mientras me mostraste tu bondad
me sentía invencible,[b] SEÑOR.
Pero cuando te alejaste de mí,
me invadió el miedo.
8 SEÑOR, entonces te pedí ayuda;
imploré tu compasión, Señor.
9 ¿De qué serviría que yo muriera,
que descienda al sepulcro?
El polvo no puede alabarte
ni puede hablarle a otros de tu bondad.
10 SEÑOR, escucha mi oración y muéstrame tu compasión.
¡Ayúdame, SEÑOR!
11 Entonces tú cambiaste mi tristeza en baile.
Me quitaste el luto y me vestiste de alegría.
12 Que todo mi ser te alabe,
te alabaré por siempre, SEÑOR.
