A PSALM, A SONG FOR THE DEDICATION OF THE HOUSE, FOR DAVID I raise my voice to praise You, Adonai, for You have lifted me up and not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me. Adonai my God, I cried out to You and You healed me. Adonai, You raised me up from Sheol, You gave me life and did not let me descend into the pit. Sing to Adonai, faithful people; praise God, as you pronounce God’s name. Surely God’s anger lasts but for a moment, and when God is pleased, life is granted. One may lie down crying at night, but wake in the morning with joyful song. I had said when I was tranquil, “I shall never be undone.” Adonai, when it pleased You, You made me a mountain of strength, but when You hid Your face, I was terrified. I called to You, Adonai; I pleaded before my Master: “What would be the gain, were I to go down to the grave? Can dust praise You? Can it speak of Your truth? Hear me, Adonai, and be kind to me; be my helper, Adonai.” You turned my mourning into a dance for me, You undid my sackcloth and girded me with joy—that I might sing of Your glory and not be silent: Adonai my God, I thank You, always. Citation Psalm 30
Commentary PSALM 30 precedes the section of psalms and songs called P’sukei D’zimra, “Verses of Song.” In the context of the morning’s prayers, its mention of being rescued from Sheol, the netherworld, might be seen as grateful acknowledgment of the blessing of awakening from sleep. In its biblical context, Psalm 30 may be viewed as a song of thanksgiving after overcoming disease and illness. In a fashion that is true of many psalms, this poem moves between past and present, between intimations of illness and affirmations of health, and between fear and joy. Knowing how vulnerable we are and how unpredictable our fate, we can thank God that we are alive and able to pray as we wake to a new day. Psalm 30 was added to the liturgy in the 17th century under the influence of Lurianic mysticism. It mentions the name of God ten times, and Jewish mystics saw in this a hint of the s’firot, the ten aspects of the Godhead.
Commentary FOR THE DEDICATION OF THE HOUSE חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת. Perhaps this psalm was meant to be recited in honor of a donor for repairs or renovations of the Temple. In the later rabbinic reading, the inauguration of the “house” might be seen as the synagogue. The mystics who added this psalm to the liturgy thought that it alluded to the human resurrection of the body (that is, the house of the soul) in the morning, and to our entering the fully revealed divine house (that is, a new day). The midrash understood the psalm’s superscription to be an expression of David’s yearning to build the Temple, remarking that the Temple is called David’s and not Solomon’s (even though the latter built it)—because it was David who had yearned to build it (Numbers Rabbah 12:9).
Commentary YOU HAVE LIFTED ME UP דִלִּיתָנִי. The Hebrew verb is used for drawing water from a well and is consonant with the image in the following verses of being raised from the pit.
Commentary GOD’S ANGER בְּאַפּוֹ. The modern Jewish theologian Abraham Joshua Heschel points out that in the Bible, God’s anger is always directed against moral corruption. The anthropomorphic image is intended to evoke the sense of violation and disruption of harmony caused by injustice and ethical lapses.
MarginNote Psalm 30: An Interpretive Translation . . . Sing to the Lord you who love God; thank God from the depths of your hearts. For though God may seem to be absent, in God’s presence is eternal life. Tears may linger when night falls, but joy arrives with the dawn. Therefore my soul blesses God with every breath that I take. My song will thank God forever, and my silence will be filled with God’s praise. —STEPHEN MITCHELL
