Psalm 30
Joy in the Morning
A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Of David.
1 I will exalt you, Lord, because you have lifted me up and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.
2 Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.
3 Lord, you brought me up from Sheol; you spared me from among those going down[a] to the Pit.

4 Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones, and praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor, a lifetime. Weeping may stay overnight, but there is joy in the morning.

6 When I was secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7 Lord, when you showed your favor, you made me stand like a strong mountain; when you hid your face, I was terrified.
8 Lord, I called to you; I sought favor from my Lord:
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?
10 Lord, listen and be gracious to me; Lord, be my helper.”

11 You turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 so that I can sing to you and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.

To get the right

you have to be asking the right .

Psalm 15 begins with the most important question that could ever be asked:

Question: Who can

in God’s presence?

Answer:

Religious acts are not part of the qualifications to live in God’s presence.

Living in God’s presence is not determined from just one segment of my life.

The Lord desires to influence every area of our everyday life:

: (vs 2)

: (vs 3)

: (vs 4)

: (vs 5)

What to do when I realize that I

of the Lord’s standards:

Only 
 measures up.
