Psalm 30
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.
I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”
7 By your favor, O Lord,
you made my mountain stand strong;
you hid your face;
I was dismayed.
8 To you, O Lord, I cry,
and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

Tel Dan Stele, Israel Museum, turned David from Pere Noel to History - telling the truth. The Bible is Accurate.
David was not introduced to The High Priest Samuel when he visited. In fact, Samuel had to call out David's father Jesse to have David brought forth from the fields. Samuel didn't enjoy the omission and had the whole family stand to wait for David to arrive.
David grew up considering the History of Israel and the Bible. David considered the giants of Scripture.
Father God was not wasting David's time.
We all have hobbies. We might collect stamps, family stories, needle point, sew, saw, build - God is developing our interests.
David's family lived in a natural ditch for a time and David led an army.
David became King after 4 various descendents of Saul lost their lives. In fact, David had four coronations as he became King of all of Israel. And after David became King, he found he needed to have another interest after his children were born.
David began to collect items and artwork and Temple Tools like Moses and Aaron used. David knew God would make this part of God's Story.
And David would sing God's Praises forever. And so the faithful have Psalm 30.
Abba,
In difficult times, help guide the faithful to be pleasing in meditation and the words of my mouth.
We always seek to have Jesus pleased with in us. Living.
Father God, we are grateful for the end of the worn out and grateful to begin with You.
We always need Jesus Christ, Son of God. Amen.
