詩篇 30:6-7 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 30:5-12

The changes and consolations of life. I. THE CHANGES OF LIFE . Health may give place to sickness, prosperity to adversity, joy to sorrow. To-day we may be lifted up and rejoicing in God's favour, to-morrow we may be cast down and in trouble because God is hiding his face from us. There are two things to be guarded against. First , presumption ( Psalms 30:6 ); next, despair. Come what will, we must cling to God ( Psalms 30:9 , Psalms 30:10 ). II. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 30:6

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved; rather, as in the Revised Version, and as for me , in my prosperity I said , etc. There is a marked pause, and introduction of a new subject in a new strophe. Prosperity had worked an ill effect on the psalmist, had made him self-confident and proud. He "said in his heart," as the wicked man in Psalms 10:6 , only in still stronger phrase, "I shall not be moved;" literally, I shall not be moved for ever. His heart was lifted up,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 30:6-12

Now begins the expanded account of the deliverance in respect of which the thanksgiving is offered. And first, with regard to the offence that had drawn down the Divine chastisement; it was an offence of the lips, springing from an evil temper in the heart. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 30:6-12

Vain confidence. "And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved," etc. Three stages here represented in the life of a good man. I. WORLDLY PROSPERITY A SECURITY . "In my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved." 1 . We say this in youth. All our castles in the air, we think, are built upon mountains. We think we can become anything and achieve anything we please. 2 . We say this before we know our sinfulness. The ways of the world harden our hearts about our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 30:7

Lord, by thy favour thou hast (rather, hadst ) made my mountain to stand strong. It was thy favour which had given me the "prosperity" whereby I was exalted, and which I thought rooted in myself—which had made Zion strong, and enabled me to triumph over my enemies. But, lo! suddenly all was changed— Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled . God turned his face away, declared himself angry with his servant ( 1 Chronicles 21:7-12 ), and sent the dreadful plague which in a single... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 30:6

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved - I shall never be visited with calamity or trial. This refers to a past period of his life, when everything seemed to be prosperous, and when he had drawn around him so many comforts, and had apparently made them so secure, that it seemed as if they could never be taken from him, or as if he had nothing to fear. To what precise period of his life the psalmist refers, it is now impossible to ascertain. It is sufficient to say, that men are... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 30:7

Lord, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong - Margin: “settled strength for my mountain.” This refers, I apprehend, to his former state of mind; to his confidence in that which constituted his prosperity as referred to in the previous verse; to his feeling, in that state, that everything pertaining to himself was safe; to his freedom from any apprehension that there would be any change. The word “mountain” seems to be used as denoting that on which he relied as his security or... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 30:6-7

Psalms 30:6-7. In my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved I thought myself past all danger of further changes. The word שׁלוי , shalvi, rendered prosperity, denotes peace and tranquillity, arising from an affluent, prosperous condition. When God had settled him quietly on the throne, he thought his troubles were over, and that he should enjoy uninterrupted happiness; that God had placed him secure from all dangers, as though he had taken refuge in an inaccessible mountain, that he... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 30:1-12

Psalms 30:0 The danger of self-confidenceFeelings expressed in this psalm may have arisen from David’s personal experience, but they also reflect Israel’s experience during events leading up to the dedication of the temple (see heading to the psalm). Enemies may try to destroy, but no matter how bad the situation appears, it is never hopeless. There may be troubles, but God’s deliverance will follow as surely as day follows night (1-5).Recalling the experience, the psalmist outlines some... read more
