Psalm 30 - Weeping Endures for a Night

A dedication song of thanksgiving for healing and God's turn from mourning to joy.

Psalm 30: Joy Comes in the Morning

Psalm 30 is a song of thanksgiving in which David extols the LORD for healing him and bringing his soul up from the grave. He captures the psalm's core promise in Psalms 30:5: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.


(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。

耶和華─我的 神啊,我曾呼求 你,你醫治了我。

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。

耶和華 的聖民哪,你們要歌頌他,稱讚 他可記念的 聖名。

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。

至於我,我凡事平順 便說:我永 不 動搖。

耶和華啊,你曾施恩,叫我的江山 穩固;你掩了 面,我就 驚惶。

耶和華啊,我曾求告 你;我向 耶和華 懇求,說:

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?

耶和華啊,求你應允我,憐恤我!耶和華啊, 求你幫助 我!

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 神啊,我要稱謝你,直到永遠!

David recalls a season of prosperity followed by God hiding His face, then rejoices that his mourning has been turned into dancing and sackcloth exchanged for gladness.
