Psalms 30:1-12

A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple. I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. (2) O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. (3) O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. (4) Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. (5) For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. (6) As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved." (7) By your favor, O LORD, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. (8) To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: (9) "What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? (10) Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!" (11) You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, (12) that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

    Summary: David Praises the LORD because He restores us and wants good for us and puts joy in us. The LORD is the mercy giver.

    Application: LORD, Thank You for your mercy towards me a sinner. Thank you for taking my soul from the pits of Hell and breathing life into my soul. Thank you for the mercy you have shown me and the joy you have given to me. I will lift Your name high, because Your favor has overwhelmed me.
