Psalm 30
Joy in the Morning
A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Davidic.
1 I will exalt You, Lord,
because You have lifted me up(A)
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.(B)
2 Lord my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.(C)
3 Lord, You brought me up from Sheol;(D)
You spared me from among those
going down[a] to the Pit.(E)
4 Sing to Yahweh, you His faithful ones,
and praise His holy name.(F)
5 For His anger lasts only a moment,
but His favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may spend the night,
but there is joy in the morning.(G)
6 When I was secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”(H)
7 Lord, when You showed Your favor,
You made me stand like a strong mountain;(I)
when You hid Your face, I was terrified.(J)
8 Lord, I called to You;
I sought favor from my Lord:(K)
9 “What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it proclaim Your truth?(L)
10 Lord, listen and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper.”(M)
11 You turned my lament into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,(N)
12 so that I can sing to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise You forever.(O)

Resurrection Morning
24 On(A) the first day of the week,(B) very early in the morning, they[a] came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 They went in but did not find the body(C) of the Lord Jesus.(D) 4 While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling(E) clothes. 5 So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.[b]
“Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men. 6 “He is not here, but He has been resurrected!(F) Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,(G) 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be betrayed(H) into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise(I) on the third day’?” 8 And they remembered His words.

From Groans to Glory
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing(A) with the glory(B) that is going to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation(C) for God’s sons(D) to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected(E) to futility(F)—not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it(G)—in the hope 21 that the creation itself(H) will also be set free from the bondage of corruption into the glorious freedom of God’s children. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together with labor pains(I) until now. 23 And not only that,(J) but we ourselves who have the Spirit as the firstfruits(K)—we also groan within ourselves,(L) eagerly waiting for adoption,(M) the redemption of our bodies.(N) 24 Now in this hope(O) we were saved, yet hope(P) that is seen is not hope, because who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see,(Q) we eagerly wait for it with patience.
26 In the same way the Spirit also joins to help in our weakness, because we do not know what to pray for as we should,(R) but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us[a](S) with unspoken groanings. 27 And He who searches the hearts(T) knows the Spirit’s mind-set, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
28 We know that all things work together[b] for the good[c] of those who love God: those who are called according to His purpose.(U) 29 For those He foreknew He also predestined(V) to be conformed to the image of His Son,(W) so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.(X) 30 And those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified;(Y) and those He justified, He also glorified.(Z)
The Believer’s Triumph
31 What then are we to say about these things?(AA)
If God is for us, who is against us?(AB)
32 He did not even spare His own Son(AC)
but offered Him up for us all;(AD)
how will He not also with Him grant us everything?
33 Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect?(AE)
God is the One who justifies.(AF)
34 Who is the one who condemns?(AG)
Christ Jesus is the One who died,(AH)
but even more, has been raised;(AI)
He also is at the right hand of God(AJ)
and intercedes for us.(AK)
35 Who can separate us from the love of Christ?
Can affliction(AL) or anguish or persecution(AM)
or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
36 As it is written:
Because of You
we are being put to death all day long;(AN)
we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered.(AO)[d]
37 No, in all these things we are more than victorious(AP)
through Him who loved us.(AQ)
38 For I am persuaded that not even death or life,(AR)
angels or rulers,(AS)
things present or things to come,(AT) hostile powers,
39 height or depth, or any other created thing
will have the power to separate us
from the love of God(AU) that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!(AV)
