Singing is a common form of worship throughout the Bible, seen in the Psalms and in the New Testament (<a href="/ephesians/5-19.htm">Ephesians 5:19</a>, <a href="/colossians/3-16.htm">Colossians 3:16</a>). It reflects a heart of gratitude and joy, acknowledging God's sovereignty and goodness. Historically, singing was a central part of Israelite worship, often accompanied by instruments, as seen in the temple worship led by the Levites.<p><b>O you His saints</b><br>The term "saints" refers to those set apart for God, His faithful followers. In the Old Testament context, this would primarily refer to the Israelites, God's chosen people. In the New Testament, the term expands to include all believers in Christ (<a href="/romans/1-7.htm">Romans 1:7</a>, <a href="/1_corinthians/1-2.htm">1 Corinthians 1:2</a>). The call to the saints underscores the communal aspect of worship, inviting all who are dedicated to God to join in praise.<p><b>and praise His holy name</b><br>Praising God's holy name involves recognizing and honoring His character and attributes. The holiness of God's name signifies His purity, righteousness, and otherness. In biblical times, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence of a person. Thus, praising God's name is an acknowledgment of His divine nature and deeds. This phrase connects to the Third Commandment, which instructs not to take the Lord's name in vain (<a href="/exodus/20-7.htm">Exodus 20:7</a>), highlighting the reverence due to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/30.htm">Psalm 30</a>, David is expressing gratitude and calling others to worship God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central figure of worship in this verse, representing the covenant-keeping God of Israel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/saints.htm">Saints</a></b><br>Refers to the faithful followers of God, those set apart for His purposes.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/holy_name.htm">Holy Name</a></b><br>Represents the character and essence of God, emphasizing His holiness and worthiness of praise.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_call_to_worship.htm">The Call to Worship</a></b><br>As believers, we are called to actively participate in worship, not just individually but as a community of saints.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_holiness.htm">Understanding Holiness</a></b><br>Recognizing the holiness of God's name should inspire reverence and awe in our worship.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/gratitude_in_praise.htm">Gratitude in Praise</a></b><br>Our praise should stem from a heart of gratitude for God's faithfulness and mercy in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/consistency_in_worship.htm">Consistency in Worship</a></b><br>Worship should be a regular part of our lives, not just reserved for specific occasions or when we feel like it.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/community_of_believers.htm">Community of Believers</a></b><br>Engaging in worship together strengthens our faith and encourages others in their walk with God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_30.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 30</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_it_mean_to_praise_god.htm">What does it mean to praise God?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_temple_worship_essential_in_psalm_100_4.htm">Why does the psalm present worship at the temple ('enter his gates,' Psalm 100:4) as essential, when other parts of the Bible emphasize worship outside Jerusalem's temple?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_to_reconcile_'one_god'_with_other_'gods'.htm">If, according to 1 Corinthians 8:6, there is only 'one God,' how do we reconcile this with other passages where divine beings or 'gods' are mentioned (e.g., Psalm 82)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_are_all_the_names_in_the_bible.htm">What are all the names in the Bible?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/30.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(4) <span class= "bld">Sing unto . . .</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">Play to Jehovah, ye saints of his. </span>(See Note, <a href="/psalms/16-10.htm" title="For you will not leave my soul in hell; neither will you suffer your Holy One to see corruption.">Psalm 16:10</a>.)<p><span class= "bld">And give thanks.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">and sing praises to his holy name. </span>(See margin.)

David continually calls upon the people to join him in his praises of God. Even when the mercy vouchsafed has been granted specially to himself, he regards the people as interested, since he is their ruler in peace and their leader in war (see <a href="/psalms/9-11.htm">Psalm 9:11</a>; <a href="/psalms/34-3.htm">Psalm 34:3</a>, etc.). On the present occasion, however, the people who had escaped the pestilence had almost exactly the same reason for praising and thanking God that David had, and were bound to join him in his thanksgiving service. And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness; literally, <span class="accented">give thanks to the memorial of his holiness</span>, which is explained, by reference to <a href="/exodus/3-15.htm">Exodus 3:15</a>, as meaning, "Give thanks to his holy Name" (comp. <a href="/psalms/103-1.htm">Psalm 103:1</a>; <a href="/psalms/106-47.htm">Psalm 106:47</a>; <a href="/psalms/145-21.htm">Psalm 145:21</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/30-4.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Sing</span><br /><span class="heb">זַמְּר֣וּ</span> <span class="translit">(zam·mə·rū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Piel - Imperative - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2167.htm">Strong's 2167: </a> </span><span class="str2">Play, to make music, celebrate in song and music</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to the LORD,</span><br /><span class="heb">לַיהוָ֣ה</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">O you His saints,</span><br /><span class="heb">חֲסִידָ֑יו</span> <span class="translit">(ḥă·sî·ḏāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2623.htm">Strong's 2623: </a> </span><span class="str2">Kind, pious</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and give thanks</span><br /><span class="heb">וְ֝הוֹד֗וּ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·hō·w·ḏū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Imperative - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3034.htm">Strong's 3034: </a> </span><span class="str2">To throw, at, away, to revere, worship, to bemoan</span><br /><br /><span class="word">to His holy</span><br /><span class="heb">קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃</span> <span class="translit">(qā·ḏə·šōw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6944.htm">Strong's 6944: </a> </span><span class="str2">A sacred place, thing, sanctity</span><br /><br /><span class="word">name.</span><br /><span class="heb">לְזֵ֣כֶר</span> <span class="translit">(lə·zê·ḵer)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2143.htm">Strong's 2143: </a> </span><span class="str2">A memento, recollection, commemoration</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/30-4.htm">Psalm 30:4 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/30-4.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 30:4 Sing praise to Yahweh you saints (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/30-3.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 30:3"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 30:3" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/30-5.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 30:5"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 30:5" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
