Help with Psalm 30 1-15?

Question

Hi:

I was wondering if someone could explain Psalm 30 1-15 for me. I want to make sure that I am interputing it correctly. Sometimes in my bible the wording is difficult to understand.

Thank you so very much, I really do appreciate it a lot.

Be safe and be well

I appologize, I made an error. I wrote 15 instead of 12.

DcubeD: Thank you for forgiving my error of writting 15 instead of 12. Your kindness and support is just overwhelming me.

Answer 1

Psalm 30 speaks of a time of restoration for David (30:2) after a dose brush with death (30:3) due to his prideful and self-sufficient attitude (30:6). It was a time of joy after suffering discipline.

The superscription indicates that the psalm was composed for the "dedication of the temple," a reference to either David's palace (2 Sam. 5:11) or perhaps the house of Obed-Edom, where the ark of the covenant remained for three months before being brought up to Jerusalem (2 Sam. 6:10-11). Some scholars suggest that this refers to the dedication of the temple site after the outbreak of pestilence (2 Sam. 24:15-25). God delivered David from near death, for the pit was the grave, the place of the dead (Ps. 30-31).

Some scholars hold that 30:6-7 refers to David's pride, which led him to number the people (2 Sam. 24:1-14). If David died, there would be no further opportunity for him to praise God on earth (Ps. 30:9; cf. Ps. 6:4-5).

Answer 2

It's much easier to understand the Bible after you have asked the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your life. I am wondering if you have ever done that. If not, you can do it right now. Just pray and ask God to forgive your sins and take you to heaven to be with Him when you die someday. Just trust the Lord to take care of your problems. You can talk to Him at anytime, either out loud or in your mind. He hears you. He loves you. His son, Jesus, died for your sins and rose from the dead and is with God in heaven right now. He is coming back someday, maybe soon, to take His children home. It will be a wonderful day. But you need to be ready. If you would like to follow Him and serve Him, just talk to Him and let Him know. Read John 3:16. Use Psalm 30, verse 10, as a prayer. I am not going to go into Psalm 30 because I see that someone else already has. I'll pray for you. God bless you. You have a sweet spirit.

Answer 3

Psalm 30 only has 12 verses in my Bible

It sounds like a Psalm that Jesus could have said about the Lord.

"O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave"

" 7 LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was troubled."

"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness"

Answer 4

Psalm 30 only has 12 verses. He's simply praising God for 1)making Him strong 2)healing him when he needed it3)saving him from hell4)for God's forgiveness that's quick to come, even if we make Him angry 5)for all of God's blessings. David is also letting God know that he needs God to be close to him.Because he is nothing without God. David is also promising that he will never stop praising God, and that everyone will hear him do it. That he won't be ashamed.
It's actually one of my favorite psalms. *after 91*

Answer 5

Er, 12 verses in Psalm 30. Unless you are reading some new twisted version.

First, it only has 12 verses, not 15. Try using Biblegateway.com You can pull up Bible verses in numerous different translations. That way you can read and reread, and see if you are wrapping your head around it right! I've had to do that a few times. Just needed to see it said in a slightly different way.

Answer 7

Maybe this version will help you to understand that the Lord is the be all of LIFE, EVERYTHING WE ARE, DO, COMES FROM HIM

Our Choices may be wrong, but He saves those that believe.

Psalm 30:1-15 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society



Psalm 30
A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David. [a]
1 I will exalt you, O LORD,
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help
and you healed me.

3 O LORD, you brought me up from the grave [b] ;
you spared me from going down into the pit.

4 Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;
praise his holy name.

5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

6 When I felt secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."

7 O LORD, when you favored me,
you made my mountain [c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
I was dismayed.

8 To you, O LORD, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:

9 "What gain is there in my destruction, [d]
in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me;
O 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 to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.

Answer 8

It is for the Jew under the Law of Moses, today, a mystery.

For the protestant christian it is a Psalm about the ressurection of the messiah, paraphrased in the 1st letter of Peter, about preaching to those in sheol.

Answer 9

This is a Psalm of thanksgiving.

The Psalmist, once secure (v.6)
suffered severe reversal (v.7)
He cried to God (vv.1,2)
And because God answered the Psalmist replied with praise and thanks (vv.1-5; 11-12)

the last two verses describe the joy of rescue and offer concluding thanks.

blessings & peace

Answer 10

jesus was not created jesus is god with the father john 1:1 the word is jesus in the beginning was the word jesus, and the Word jesus was with God, and the Word jesus was God. john 1:14 And the Word jesus was made flesh or became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. proverbs 8:22-30 is talking about wisdom not jesus colossians 1:15 is not saying jesus was created it is saying he was the first human to arise from the dead KJV: Colossians 1:18. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
