What can bring you real peace and joy?What is it to completely entrust oneself to God?
什麼能帶給你真正的平安與喜樂？何謂將自己完全交託給上帝呢？
You turned my wailing into dancing; you . . . clothed me with joy.
Psalm 30:11
禰已將我的哀哭變為跳舞，……給我披上喜樂。-詩篇30篇11節
Kim began battling breast cancer in 2013. Four days after her treatment ended, doctors diagnosed her with a progressive lung disease and gave her three to five years to live. She grieved, sobbing prayers as she processed her emotions before God for the first year. By the time I met Kim in 2015, she had surrendered her situation to Him and radiated contagious joy and peace. Though some days are still hard, God continues to transform her heart-wrenching suffering into a beautiful testimony of hope-filled praise as she encourages others.
從2013年起，金萍就開始對抗乳癌，但在結束治療四天後，又被診斷出患有進行性肺病，只剩下3至5年的壽命。知道訊息的第一年，金萍學習接受這事實，在上帝面前哀傷痛哭地禱告。到了2015年我遇見金萍時，她已將自己的處境完全交託給上帝，她活出了喜樂與平安，也影響周圍的人。雖然有時日子依舊難熬，但上帝不斷將她痛苦的煎熬，轉化為滿懷盼望的美好見證，讓她能藉此激勵他人。
Even when we’re in dire circumstances, God can turn our wailing into dancing. Though His healing won’t always look or feel like we’d hoped or expected, we can be confident in God’s ways (Psalm 30:1–3). No matter how tear-stained our path may be, we have countless reasons to praise Him (v. 4). We can rejoice in God, as He secures our confident faith (vv. 5–7). We can cry out for His mercy (vv. 8–10), celebrating the hope He’s brought to many weeping worshipers. Only God can transform wails of despair into vibrant joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances (vv. 11–12).
縱然我們處於悲慘的困境中，上帝也能將我們的哀哭變為歡樂的舞蹈。雖然祂所施行的醫治，並不總是符合我們的期盼，但我們仍可信靠上帝的作為（詩篇30篇1-3節）。無論我們一路走來流了多少的淚水，卻仍有無數的理由可以稱頌上帝（4節）。我們可以在上帝面前歡呼喜樂，因祂使我們信心堅定（5-7節）。我們可以呼求祂的憐憫（8-10節），稱頌祂將盼望賜給在傷慟中敬拜上帝的人。唯有上帝能將絕望的哭泣轉化為滿有活力、不受環境影響的喜樂（11-12節）。
As our merciful God comforts us in our sorrow, He envelops us in peace and empowers us to extend compassion toward others and ourselves. Our loving and faithful Lord can and does turn our wailing into worship that can lead to heart-deep trust, praise, and maybe even joyful dancing.
我們在哀痛中，慈愛的上帝會安慰我們、以平安環繞我們，並加添我們力量，使我們經歷祂的憐憫，並以憐憫待人。這位慈愛且信實的主，能將我們的哀哭轉化為敬拜，讓我們能從內心深處全然倚賴祂、頌讚祂，甚至歡欣地舞蹈！
God, believe that you can turn our mourning into worship.
Please be closely connected with us.
上帝啊，相信禰能將我們的哀哭變為敬拜，求禰與我們緊密相連。
Psalm 30 NIV
30 I will exalt you, Lord,for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. 2 Lord my God, I called to you for help,and you healed me. 3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;you spared me from going down to the pit. 4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;praise his holy name. 5 For his anger lasts only a moment,but his favor lasts a lifetime;weeping may stay for the night,but rejoicing comes in the morning. 6 When I felt secure, I said,“I will never be shaken.” 7 Lord, when you favored me,you made my royal mountain stand firm;but when you hid your face,I was dismayed. 8 To you, Lord, I called;to the Lord I cried for mercy: 9 “What is gained if I am silenced,if I go down to the pit?Will the dust praise you?Will it proclaim your faithfulness? 10 Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me;Lord, be my help.” 11 You turned my wailing into dancing;you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
詩篇 30
30耶和華啊，我要尊崇你，因為你曾提拔我，不叫仇敵向我誇耀。2 耶和華我的神啊，我曾呼求你，你醫治了我。3 耶和華啊，你曾把我的靈魂從陰間救上來，使我存活，不至於下坑。4 耶和華的聖民哪，你們要歌頌他，稱讚他可記念的聖名。5 因為他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間，他的恩典乃是一生之久，一宿雖然有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。6 至於我，我凡事平順，便說：“我永不動搖。”7 耶和華啊，你曾施恩，叫我的江山穩固；你掩了面，我就驚惶。8 耶和華啊，我曾求告你，我向耶和華懇求說：9 “我被害流血，下到坑中，有什麼益處呢？塵土豈能稱讚你，傳說你的誠實嗎？10 耶和華啊，求你應允我，憐恤我！耶和華啊，求你幫助我！”11 你已將我的哀哭變為跳舞，將我的麻衣脫去，給我披上喜樂，12 好叫我的靈歌頌你，並不住聲。耶和華我的神啊，我要稱謝你，直到永遠！

There were many occasions (though often we’re not given specifics) when David was stricken with illness because of his sins (Psalms 6:1–2; 38:1–3; 41:3–4). Some scholars believe David wrote Psalm 30 out of his experience in 1 Chronicles 21 (see also 2 Samuel 24). In his pride—trusting in his own large army and not in God—David counted his army to show how powerful he was (Psalm 30:6–8). God punished him with a life-threatening illness but mercifully delivered him in response to his prayer (vv. 3–12). Following this, David bought a piece of land and dedicated it as the site for the temple (1 Chronicles 21:25–26; 22:1). The superscription indicates David wrote Psalm 30 for the dedication service: “A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.”
雖然我們無法確知具體詳情，但聖經有多處暗示大衛因犯罪而患病（詩篇6篇1-2節，38篇1-3節，41篇3-4節）。有些學者認為，大衛在歷代志上21章的經歷促使他寫下詩篇30篇（參閱撒母耳記下24章）。那時，大衛驕傲地依賴自己的大軍而非倚靠上帝，所以他數點軍隊，顯示自己多麼強大（詩篇30篇6-8節）。上帝雖用危及生命的疾病懲罰大衛，但仍回應大衛的禱告而施憐憫拯救（3-12節）。在此之後，大衛買了一塊土地，想要為上帝建造聖殿（歷代志上21章25-26節，22章1節）。詩篇30篇的題注表明，這首詩是大衛為了聖殿的奉獻禮所寫的：“大衛的詩：獻殿之歌”（新譯本）。
