Ps 30:1-12.
英文原文
Ps 30:1-12.
Literally, "A Psalm-Song"--a composition to be sung with musical instruments, or without them--or, "Song of the dedication," &c. specifying the particular character of the Psalm. Some suppose that of David should be connected with the name of the composition, and not with "house"; and refer for the occasion to the selection of a site for the temple
(1Ch 21:26-30; 22:1).
But "house" is never used absolutely for the temple, and "dedication" does not well apply to such an occasion. Though the phrase in the Hebrew, "dedication of the house of David," is an unusual form, yet it is equally unusual to disconnect the name of the author and the composition. As a "dedication of David's house" (as provided,
De 20:5),
the scope of the Psalm well corresponds with the state of repose and meditation on his past trials suited to such an occasion
(2Sa 5:11; 7:2).
For beginning with a celebration of God's delivering favor, in which he invites others to join, he relates his prayer in distress, and God's gracious and prompt answer.

英文原文
2. healed me--Affliction is often described as disease
(Ps 6:2; 41:4; 107:20),
and so relief by healing.

魂——或作「我自己」。

soul--or, "myself."
grave--literally, "hell," as in

8-11. 如
Ps 6:5; 88:10; Isa 38:18
一样，求怜悯的恳求乃基于死亡会夺去他在此赞美神的功用。表达解脱的词是诗意的，不应过严地推求，不过「跳舞」所译的词意指瑟，其欢愉之音与悲哀或
(Am 5:16)
哀号相对照。
英文原文
8-11. As in
Ps 6:5; 88:10; Isa 38:18,
the appeal for mercy is based on the destruction of his agency in praising God here, which death would produce. The terms expressing relief are poetical, and not to be pressed, though "dancing" is the translation of a word which means a lute, whose cheerful notes are contrasted with mourning, or
(Am 5:16)
wailing.

无标题
11. 麻布——在患难中，连王也使用
(1Ch 21:16; Isa 37:1)； 但「喜乐」被当作衣服来用，表明这话是比喻。
英文原文
11. sackcloth--was used, even by kings, in distress
(1Ch 21:16; Isa 37:1)
but "gladness," used for a garment, shows the language to be figurative.

无标题
12. 虽然在「荣耀」之前补上「我的」，但如
Ps 16:9， 更当用以代舌头——赞美的器官。神向我们施怜悯的终极目的，就是我们向他赞美。
英文原文
12. Though "my" is supplied before "glory" it is better as in
Ps 16:9,
to receive it as used for tongue, the organ of praise. The ultimate end of God's mercies to us is our praise to Him.
Ps 30:1-12.
字面作“诗——歌”，是一首可用乐器伴奏、也可无伴奏演唱的作品——或作“献堂之歌”等，用以指明本诗的特殊性质。有人认为大卫的应连于作品名称，而非连于“房屋”，并将背景归于选定圣殿基址一事（1Ch 21:26-30; 22:1）。但“房屋”从不绝对地指圣殿，“献堂”也不适用于这样的场合。尽管希伯来文原文“大卫房屋的献堂”是少见的句式，但将作者之名与作品断开同样少见。若理解为“大卫房屋的献堂”（如 De 20:5 所规定），本诗的要旨与那种安息及回顾往昔试炼的心境十分相合（2Sa 5:11; 7:2）。因为本诗先颂扬神的拯救之恩——他也邀请他人一同有分——继而叙述自己在苦难中的祷告，以及神恩惠而迅速的应允。
1. 曾提拔我（lifted me up）——如同人从井中被拉上来（Ps 40:2）。
