Adonai my God, I called out to You and You healed me. Adonai, from Sheol You brought me up; You gave me life and did not let me go down into the pit. Sing to Adonai, you faithful; praise God, as you utter God’s name. Surely the anger of God lasts but a moment, and when God is pleased, life is bestowed. One may lie down in tears at night, yet wake at morning with joyful song. In my ease I had said, “I shall never be undone.” Adonai, when You were pleased, You made of me a mountain of strength, yet when You hid Your face, terror seized me. To You I called, Adonai; I pleaded before my Master: “What profit would there be, were I to descend to the grave? Can dust offer You praise? Can it declare Your truth? Hear me, Adonai, and show me kindness; be my helper, Adonai.” You changed my mourning into a dance for me, You loosed my sackcloth and girded me with joy—that I might chant of Your glory and not keep silent: Adonai my God, I give You thanks, always.",

In its biblical context, Psalm 30 may be viewed as a song of thanksgiving after overcoming disease and illness. In a fashion that is true of many psalms, this poem moves between past and present, between intimations of illness and affirmations of health, and between fear and joy. Knowing how vulnerable we are and how unpredictable our fate, we can thank God that we are alive and able to pray as we wake to a new day. Psalm 30 was added to the liturgy in the 17th century under the influence of Lurianic mysticism. It mentions the name of God ten times, and Jewish mystics saw in this a hint of the s’firot, the ten aspects of the Godhead."

In the later rabbinic reading, the inauguration of the “house” might be seen as the synagogue. The mystics who added this psalm to the liturgy thought that it alluded to the human resurrection of the body (that is, the house of the soul) in the morning, and to our entering the fully revealed divine house (that is, a new day). The midrash understood the psalm’s superscription to be an expression of David’s yearning to build the Temple, remarking that the Temple is called David’s and not Solomon’s (even though the latter built it)—because it was David who had yearned to build it (Numbers Rabbah 12:9)."
