The Worship of the Rescued (Psalm 30:1-12)
Dave Sunman, 15 July 2018
Part of the Whole Life Worship series, Sunday Evening service
Some of us will have faced the nearness of seemingly certain death but been rescued giving a new perspective on the life we now have. That was the experience of David writing Psalm 30. Even those who haven’t shared his experience are invited to join him in praising God for the rescue. Today we celebrate the many ways in which God rescues us.

Psalm 30 (Listen)
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.
30:1 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!
