Psalm 30:2 NLT,NIV,ESV

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

1. David’s deliverance from God’s chastening 30:1-5The psalmist began by acknowledging the Lord’s deliverance of him, and he called on the congregation of Israel to praise Him. Promises to praise the Lord frame this individual thanksgiving psalm (Psalms 30:1; Psalms 30:12). read more

Psalms 30David had emerged from an experience of chastening by the Lord for some sin he had committed, and he praised Him that His anger is temporary but His favor is permanent."This psalm is a quite clear example of the thanksgiving song, which Westermann labels as a declarative narrative. [Note: Claus Westermann, The Psalms: Structure, Content, and Message, chs. 2 and 4.] That is, the psalm tells the story of going into the trouble and coming out of the trouble." [Note: Brueggemann, p. 126.]... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 30:1-12

Title.—(RV) ’A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; a Psalm of David.’ There is no obvious connexion between the contents of this Ps. and its title. It is a thanksgiving for recovery from an illness which had threatened to be fatal, and in itself may very well have been written by David. But it is difficult to find in his life an occasion corresponding to the title, though the dedication of David’s own palace, or of the site of the Temple, has been suggested. It is more likely that the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 30:1-12

Psalms 30:1-12THE title of this psalm is apparently a composite, the usual "Psalm of David" having been enlarged by the awkward insertion of "A Song at the Dedication of the House," which probably indicates its later liturgical use and not its first destination. Its occasion was evidently a deliverance from grave peril; and, whilst its tone is strikingly inappropriate if it had been composed for the inauguration of temple, tabernacle, or palace, one can understand how the venerable words, which... read more

Psalms 30:0 A Psalm of Praise 1. Praise for deliverance (Psalms 30:1-5 ) 2. Past experience (Psalms 30:6-12 ) Psalms 30:1-5 . The inscription says that the Psalm was written by David as a song of dedication of the house. It probably means the house of the Lord mentioned in 1 Chronicles 22:1 . The Psalm must be looked upon as expressing prophetically the praise of the nation for the deliverance and when that greater house of the Lord will be on the earth (Ezekiel 40:1-49 , etc.) David’s... read more
