Pangamuyo nga Pagpasalamat

30 Ginadayaw ko ikaw, Ginoo,
kay ginluwas mo ako sa katalagman
kag wala mo pagtuguti nga magkalipay ang akon mga kaaway sa akon kahimtangan.
Ginoo nga akon Dios,
nagapangayo ako sang bulig sa imo,
kag gin-ayo mo ako.
Ginluwas mo ako sa kamatayon.
Wala mo pagtuguti nga mapatay ako.

Magkanta kamo sang mga pagdayaw sa Ginoo,
kamo nga iya matutom nga katawhan.
Dayawa ninyo siya bilang pagdumdom sa iya pagkabalaan.
Kay ang iya kaakig wala nagadugay,
pero ang iya kaayo nagapadayon hasta san-o.
Ayhan nagakasubo kita sa kagab-ihon,
pero pag-abot sang kaagahon magakalipay kita.

Sang malig-on ang akon kahimtangan, nagsiling ako nga indi gid ako maano.
Ini tungod sa kaayo mo, Ginoo.
Ginpalig-on mo ako pareho sa isa ka bukid.
Pero sang nagpanago ka sa akon, hinadlukan ako.

Nagpanawag ako sa imo, Ginoo, nga nagapakitluoy.
Siling ko,
“Ano bala ang makuha mo kon mapatay ako?
Makadayaw bala sa imo ang patay nga tawo?
Makasugid bala siya sang imo katutom?
10 Ginoo, pamatii ako kag kaluoyi.
Buligi ako!”

11 Gani, ginbayluhan mo ang akon pagpangasubo sang malipayon nga pagsaot.
Ginpauba mo sa akon ang sako nga ginsul-ob ko sang nagpangasubo ako,
kag ginhatagan mo ako sang kalipay,
12 agod indi lang ako maghipos, kundi magkanta ako sang mga pagdayaw sa imo.
Ginoo nga akon Dios, pasalamatan ko ikaw sa wala sing katapusan.

Psalm 30[a]

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death

A psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David.

I will exalt you, O Lord,
    for you have raised me out of the depths[b]
    and have not let my enemies exult over me.
Lord, my God,
    I called to you and you healed me.[c]
Lord, you lifted me up from the netherworld;[d]
    you saved me from sinking into the pit.
Sing praise to the Lord, O you his saints;[e]
    give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger lasts for only a moment,
    while his goodwill endures for a lifetime.
Weeping may last throughout the night,[f]
    but at daybreak there is rejoicing.
In time of good fortune, I said,
    “Nothing can ever sway me.”[g]
Lord, in your goodness
    you established me as an impregnable mountain;
however, when you hid your face,
    I was filled with terror.
[h]To you, O Lord, I cried out,
    and I implored my God for mercy:
10 “What advantage would my death provide
    if I descend into the pit?
Can the dust praise you?
    Can it proclaim your faithfulness?
11 Listen, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
    Lord, be my helper.”
12 You have turned my mourning into dancing;
    you have taken away my sackcloth[i]
    and clothed me with joy.
13 My heart[j] will therefore sing
    in unceasing praise to you;
Lord, my God,
    I will praise you forever.

  1. Psalm 30:1 This is a psalm of thanksgiving arising out of the experience of someone who was at death’s door because of an illness, compounded by feelings of haughtiness in time of prosperity and despair in times of humiliation. The Lord listened to his cry and healed him; hence the psalmist calls for praise. This psalm came to be applied to Israel itself, especially in its experience of the Exile, and was chanted at the Feast of the Dedication of the Temple in commemoration of the purification of the temple in 164 B.C. (see Ezr 6:16; 1 Mac 4:36ff).
    This psalm reminds us that while we await life eternal and union with Christ, the present life with its adversities offers us the opportunity to receive from the divine goodness a cure, various deliverances, and even spiritual resurrection.
  2. Psalm 30:2 Out of the depths: a common Old Testament phrase of extreme distress (see Pss 69:3, 16; 71:20; 88:6; 130:1; Lam 3:55; Jon 2:2) usually connected with the words “the grave” and “the pit.”
  3. Psalm 30:3 You healed me: other passages that proclaim God as a healer are: Pss 103:3; 107:20; Hos 6:1; 7:1; 11:3; 14:5.
  4. Psalm 30:4 Netherworld: symbol for a life-threatening experience (see Ps 18:6; Jon 2:2). Pit: metaphor for the grave.
  5. Psalm 30:5 Saints: see note on Ps 16:3. Name: see note on Ps 5:12.
  6. Psalm 30:6 Last throughout the night: literally, “come in at evening to lodge,” like a guest seeking a night’s rest.
  7. Psalm 30:7 In time of good fortune, I said, “Nothing can ever sway me”: security brings forgetfulness of God (see Deut 8:8-10; Hos 13:6; Prov 30:9). The secure psalmist spoke similar words to those of the wicked in Ps 10:6 and so lost the blessing promised to the righteous (see Ps 15:5).
  8. Psalm 30:9 In the stillness and inactivity of the pit, no one gives praise to God; the psalmist prays to be delivered so that he may rejoin those who worship the Lord (see Pss 6:6; 88:11-13; 115:17; Isa 38:18).
  9. Psalm 30:12 Sackcloth: a symbol of mourning (see Ps 35:13; Gen 37:34).
  10. Psalm 30:13 Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.

Psalm 30[a]

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

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

Sing(H) the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;(I)
    praise his holy name.(J)
For 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)

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

To you, Lord, I called;
    to the Lord I cried for mercy:
“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)
10 Hear,(T) Lord, and be merciful to me;(U)
    Lord, be my help.(V)

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

  3. Psalm 30:7 That is, Mount Zion

30 I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

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.
O Lord my God, I cried out to You,
And You (D)healed me.
O 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.

(F)Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of [b]His holy name.
For (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.

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

I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:
“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?
10 Hear, 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,
12 To 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.
