A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. This introduction indicates that the psalm was intended for a significant event, the dedication of the temple. Although David did not build the temple, he prepared extensively for its construction, which Solomon, his son, completed. The dedication of the temple was a momentous occasion in Israel's history, symbolizing God's dwelling among His people. David's authorship suggests that the psalm may have been used in anticipation of the temple's future dedication or for the dedication of another significant structure, such as his own palace. The psalm reflects David's personal experiences and his deep relationship with God.I will exalt You, O LORD, David begins with a declaration of praise and worship. The use of "exalt" signifies lifting God high in honor and reverence. This reflects a common biblical theme where God is praised for His sovereignty and goodness. The personal nature of this statement shows David's intimate relationship with God, a relationship characterized by gratitude and acknowledgment of God's supremacy.for You have lifted me up This phrase suggests a personal deliverance or rescue. The imagery of being "lifted up" can be understood as being saved from a low or dangerous position. In David's life, this could refer to numerous instances where God delivered him from enemies, illness, or despair. The lifting up also symbolizes restoration and honor, themes prevalent in the Psalms and throughout David's life.and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me. David acknowledges God's protection against his enemies. In the historical context, David faced numerous adversaries, including King Saul, foreign nations, and even internal rebellion. The prevention of his foes' triumph is a testament to God's faithfulness and justice. This theme resonates with the broader biblical narrative where God consistently defends His chosen ones, ensuring that evil does not prevail. The phrase also foreshadows the ultimate victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ, who triumphed over His enemies and secured eternal salvation for believers.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> Traditionally attributed as the author of this psalm, David is expressing gratitude for God's deliverance. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and unchanging nature. 3. <a href="/topical/f/foes/enemies.htm">Foes/Enemies</a> Those who opposed David, possibly referring to personal adversaries or broader national threats. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_temple_dedication.htm">The Temple Dedication</a> Although not explicitly mentioned in this verse, the psalm is often associated with the dedication of the temple, reflecting a time of celebration and thanksgiving. 5. <a href="/topical/d/deliverance.htm">Deliverance</a> The event of God lifting David from a place of danger or distress, preventing his enemies from triumphing.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/e/exaltation_of_god.htm">Exaltation of God</a> We are called to lift up God's name in praise, recognizing His sovereignty and goodness in our lives. <a href="/topical/r/recognition_of_deliverance.htm">Recognition of Deliverance</a> Acknowledge the times God has intervened in your life, preventing harm and providing protection. <a href="/topical/v/victory_over_adversaries.htm">Victory Over Adversaries</a> Trust in God's ability to protect you from those who seek your downfall, knowing He is your defender. <a href="/topical/g/gratitude_in_worship.htm">Gratitude in Worship</a> Cultivate a heart of thankfulness, especially in corporate worship settings, for God's faithfulness and deliverance. <a href="/topical/p/personal_reflection.htm">Personal Reflection</a> Reflect on personal experiences of God's deliverance and share testimonies to encourage others.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_psalm_30.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Psalm 30</a> <a href="/q/what's_the_meaning_of_'king_of_glory'.htm">What is the meaning of 'King of Glory'?</a> <a href="/q/why_is_god's_anger_brief_in_psalm_30_5.htm">Psalm 30:5: Why does the verse say God’s anger is momentary if the Bible elsewhere depicts extended periods of divine punishment? </a> <a href="/q/how_is_god_a_shield_despite_natural_laws.htm">How can Psalm 3:3 describe God as a literal shield if such protection contradicts observable natural laws?</a> <a href="/q/why_did_invasions_succeed_if_god_is_angry.htm">Psalm 76:7: If 'none can stand' before God's anger, how do we explain the numerous successful invasions of Judah documented in biblical and extrabiblical records?</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>(1) Thou hast lifted me up.--The Hebrew word seems to mean to dangle, and therefore may be used either of letting down or drawing up.

For thou hast lifted me up; or, "drawn me up," as a bucket is drawn up out of a well, or a man out of a dungeon. And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. David had still enemies at the time of his numbering the people, as appears from <a href="/2_samuel/24-13.htm">2 Samuel 24:13</a>. Indeed, it was doubtless with some reference to the number of his foes that he wished to know how many followers he could rally to his standard in case of need. If the plague had continued much longer, David's military strength would have been seriously crippled, and his foes would have rejoiced with reason. <a href="/commentaries/psalms/30-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>A Psalm. מִזְמ֡וֹר (miz·mō·wr) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4210.htm">Strong's 4210: </a> Instrumental music, a poem set to notes A Song שִׁיר־ (šîr-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7892.htm">Strong's 7892: </a> A song, singing for the dedication חֲנֻכַּ֖ת (ḥă·nuk·kaṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2598.htm">Strong's 2598: </a> Initiation, consecration of the temple. הַבַּ֣יִת (hab·ba·yiṯ) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house Of David. לְדָוִֽד׃ (lə·ḏā·wiḏ) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1732.htm">Strong's 1732: </a> David -- perhaps 'beloved one', a son of Jesse I will exalt You, אֲרוֹמִמְךָ֣ (’ă·rō·w·mim·ḵā) Verb - Piel - Imperfect Cohortative if contextual - first person common singular | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7311.htm">Strong's 7311: </a> To be high actively, to rise, raise O LORD, יְ֭הוָה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel for כִּ֣י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction You have lifted me up דִלִּיתָ֑נִי (ḏil·lî·ṯā·nî) Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person masculine singular | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1802.htm">Strong's 1802: </a> To dangle, to let down a, bucket, to deliver and have not וְלֹא־ (wə·lō-) Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no allowed my foes אֹיְבַ֣י (’ō·yə·ḇay) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_341.htm">Strong's 341: </a> Hating, an adversary to rejoice over me. שִׂמַּ֖חְתָּ (śim·maḥ·tā) Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8055.htm">Strong's 8055: </a> To brighten up, be, blithe, gleesome <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/psalms/30-1.htm">Psalm 30:1 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/psalms/30-1.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 30:1 A Psalm (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/29-11.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 29:11"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 29:11" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/30-2.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 30:2"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 30:2" /></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>
