Salmos 30

The Blessedness of Answered Prayer

A Psalm. A Song #Deut. 20:5at the dedication of the house of David.

1 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have *Ps. 28:9lifted me up,

And have not let my foes *Ps. 25:2rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried out to You,

And You *Ps. 6:2; 103:3; (Is. 53:5)healed me.

3 O Lord, *Ps. 86:13You brought my soul up from the grave;

You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 *Ps. 97:12Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,

And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

5 For *Ps. 103:9; Is. 26:20; 54:7, 8His anger isbutfor a moment,

*Ps. 63:3His favor isfor life;

Weeping may endure for a night,

But joy comes in the morning.

6 Now in my prosperity I said,

"I shall never be moved."

7 Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;

*(Deut. 31:17; Ps. 104:29; 143:7)You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

8 I cried out to You, O Lord;

And to the Lord I made supplication:

9 "What profit isthere in my blood,

When I go down to the pit?

*(Ps. 6:5)Will the dust praise You?

Will it declare Your truth?

10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;

Lord, be my helper!"

11 *Eccl. 3:4; Is. 61:3; Jer. 31:4You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
