Psalm 30
Joy in the Morning
A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Of David.
1 I will exalt you, Lord,
because you have lifted me up(A)
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.(B)
2 Lord my God,
I cried to you for help, and you healed me.(C)
3 Lord, you brought me up from Sheol;(D)
you spared me from among those
going down[a] to the Pit.(E)
4 Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones,
and praise his holy name.(F)
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning.(G)
6 When I was secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”(H)
7 Lord, when you showed your favor,
you made me stand like a strong mountain;(I)
when you hid your face, I was terrified.(J)
8 Lord, I called to you;
I sought favor from my Lord:(K)
9 “What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your truth?(L)
10 Lord, listen and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper.”(M)
7 Now as you excel in everything—in faith, speech, knowledge,(A) and in all diligence, and in your love for us[a]—excel also in this act of grace. 8 I am not saying this as a command. Rather, by means of the diligence of others, I am testing the genuineness of your love. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ: Though he was rich,(B) for your sake he became poor,(C) so that by his poverty you might become rich. 10 And in this matter I am giving advice because it is profitable for you, who began last year not only to do something but also to want to do it.(D) 11 Now also finish the task, so that just as there was an eager desire, there may also be a completion, according to what you have. 12 For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.(E) 13 It is not that there should be relief for others and hardship for you, but it is a question of equality.[b] 14 At the present time your surplus is available for their need, so that their abundance may in turn meet your need, in order that there may be equality. 15 As it is written: The person who had much did not have too much, and the person who had little did not have too little.[c](F)
A Girl Restored and a Woman Healed
21 When(A) Jesus had crossed over again by boat[a] to the other side, a large crowd(B) gathered around him while he was by the sea. 22 One of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus,(C) came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet(D) 23 and begged him earnestly, “My little daughter is dying. Come and lay your hands on(E) her so that she can get well[b](F) and live.” 24 So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd was following and pressing against him.
25 Now a woman suffering from bleeding(G) for twelve years 26 had endured(H) much under many doctors.(I) She had spent everything she had and was not helped at all. On the contrary, she became worse. 27 Having heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched(J) his clothing.(K) 28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I’ll be made well.”(L) 29 Instantly her flow of blood ceased, and she sensed in her body that she was healed(M) of her affliction.
30 Immediately Jesus realized that power(N) had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd(O) and said, “Who touched my clothes?”(P)
31 His disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing against you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
32 But he was looking around to see who had done this. 33 The woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down(Q) before him, and told him the whole truth.(R) 34 “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith(S) has saved you.(T) Go in peace and be healed(U) from your affliction.”(V)
35 While he was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the teacher(W) anymore?”
36 When Jesus overheard[c] what was said, he told the synagogue leader, “Don’t be afraid.(X) Only believe.” 37 He did not let anyone accompany him except Peter,(Y) James,(Z) and John,(AA) James’s brother. 38 They came to the leader’s house, and he saw a commotion—people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping?(AB) The child(AC) is not dead but asleep.”(AD) 40 They laughed at him, but he put them all outside. He took the child’s father,(AE) mother, and those who were with him, and entered the place where the child was. 41 Then he took the child(AF) by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum”[d] (which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, get up”(AG)). 42 Immediately the girl got up(AH) and began to walk.(AI) (She was twelve years old.) At this they were utterly astounded.(AJ) 43 Then he gave them strict orders that no one should know about this(AK) and told them to give her something to eat.
