Psalm, Chapter 30
Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.
A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.
30 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
- The title is thanksgiving
o This means to thank God for what He has given us (already done)
- For Deliverance from Death
o This is what He gave us
o Deliverance from death
§ This means He picked us up and transported us elsewhere
§ He took us from death to eternal life
§ From Hell to Heaven (it is a direct flight with no stops)
- Notice that is Song at the Dedication of the House
o So much joy that singing filled his lungs and mouth
o Do you have a sufficient level of joy to fill your lungs & mouth with song?
o The dedicate of the House is not a House it is The House
§ God’s House
§ When a house is dedicated it gets dedicated to a specific family for a specific purpose (you know the purpose and the family)
2 O Lord my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
3 O Lord, You have brought up my soul from [a]Sheol;
You have kept me alive, [b]that I would not go down to the pit.
- David wants to make sure you and I know exactly what he is talking about
- O Lord, my God
o This is to whom the song is addressed (the one who deserves the Praise)
- I cried to You for help, and You healed me
o Here is the same math formula we learned before
o First, you cry to the Lord for Help
o Then He hears and takes care of business “and You healed me”
o When God heals you its complete (health, spiritual, physical, emotional, relational, mental and eternal)
- O Lord, You have brought up my soul from Sheol
o Sheol is the place dead people go
o In other words, God did not allow David’s soul to go down there
o He uses the words “brought up” its like “come up hear”
- You have kept me alive
o Notice God kept David alive
§ David is acknowledging that it was the Lord’s doing not David’s strength or wit
o That I should not go down the pit
§ God prevented David from going down to the pit
§ If God didn’t prevent it; it would have happened
§ You can’t imagine all the times God has saved you already and you may not even have known it
