30:1 （大衛在獻殿的時候，作這詩歌。）耶和華啊，我要尊崇你，因為你曾提拔我，不叫仇敵向我誇耀。
30:2 耶和華─我的上帝啊，我曾呼求你，你醫治了我。
30:3 耶和華啊，你曾把我的靈魂從陰間救上來，使我存活，不至於下坑。
30:4 耶和華的聖民哪，你們要歌頌他，稱讚他可記念的聖名。
30:5 因為，他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間；他的恩典乃是一生之久。一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。
30:6 至於我，我凡事平順便說：我永不動搖。
30:7 耶和華啊，你曾施恩，叫我的江山穩固；你掩了面，我就驚惶。
30:8 耶和華啊，我曾求告你；我向耶和華懇求，說：
30:9 我被害流血，下到坑中，有甚麼益處呢？塵土豈能稱讚你，傳說你的誠實麼？
30:10 耶和華啊，求你應允我，憐恤我！耶和華啊，求你幫助我！
30:11 你已將我的哀哭變為跳舞，將我的麻衣脫去，給我披上喜樂，
30:12 好叫我的靈（原文是榮耀）歌頌你，並不住聲。耶和華─我的上帝啊，我要稱謝你，直到永遠！

A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[b] Of David.
1 I
will exalt you, Lord,
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 Lord my God, I called to you for help,
and you healed me.
3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
you spared me from going down to the pit.
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 Lord my God, I called to you for help,
and you healed me.
3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
you spared me from going down to the pit.
4 Sing
the praises of the Lord, you his
faithful people;
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 When
I felt secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
7 Lord, when you favored me,
you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
I was dismayed.
“I will never be shaken.”
7 Lord, when you favored me,
you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
I was dismayed.
8 To
you, Lord, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me;
Lord, be my help.”
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me;
Lord, be my help.”
11 You
turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever.

大衛為自己的政權穩固感謝上帝，因為他知道要不是上帝的保守與幫助，他就沒有今天，於是寫下這一首讚美的詩歌來紀念與感謝上帝！大衛這樣的表現，讓我們看見一位國王的心中有上帝，就不會驕傲，就會好好實行上帝的旨意，來榮耀上帝，不是高抬自己！
然而大衛也清楚自己的所作所為，並不是樣樣都得上帝的喜歡。但是上帝的慈愛卻是永不改變，所以他勇敢地宣告：「因為，他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間；他的恩典乃是一生之久。一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。」
也因為這樣，他向上帝求：「耶和華啊，求你應允我，憐恤我！耶和華啊，求你幫助我！」
他也清楚：「你已將我的哀哭變為跳舞，將我的麻衣脫去，給我披上喜樂，好叫我的靈（原文是榮耀）歌頌你，並不住聲。耶和華─我的上帝啊，我要稱謝你，直到永遠！」
是的！當我們經歷到上帝的恩典，才會有真正的喜樂！喜樂是我們得上帝拯救的記號，你有這記號嗎？
