James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 30:1-12

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 30:2-3

How beautiful are these expressions, if applied to the Lord Jesus Christ? Here the subject was altogether real. David, and all other men, delivered from the snare of the enemy, may be said to be kept, in a figurative way, from the grave and the pit. But of none could this be really and truly said, but of Christ at his resurrection. And, Reader, do not forget to connect with it all his redeemed, from the interest they bear in his resurrection. He was the first fruits. 1 Corinthians 15:20 . read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 30:1-12

A Prayer of Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death. A psalm and song, literally, "a psalm song," a composition to be sung with musical accompaniment, at the dedication of the house of David, of his palace on the hill of Zion, this festivity taking place shortly after he had recovered from a severe illness. v. 1. I will extol Thee, O Lord, lifting up high the praises of Jehovah, exalting Him greatly; for Thou hast lifted me up, drawing him out of the deep well or pit of his illness and... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 30:1-12

“Joy Cometh in the Morning” Psalms 30:1-12 This psalm dates from 2 Samuel 5:11 . What a contrast between Adullam’s cave and the house of cedar! When God has lifted us up in mercy, we should lift Him up in song. Apparently David had been passing through a time of sickness or intense sorrow, and now he could not be thankful enough for God’s redeeming mercy. When shall we realize that God both forgives sin and redeems us from its eternal consequences! Weeping is here personified; she is only a... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 30:1-12

This is a song of praise for deliverance (1-5) and a meditation on the deliverance and its lessons (6-12), with a final note of praise (12). The phrases descriptive of the trouble are such as to leave little room for doubt that the singer had been sick and nigh unto death-"Thou hast healed me. . . . Thou has brought up my soul from Sheol." Moreover, he believed that the sickness was a divine chastisement and that through it and his deliverance he had found the method of Jehovah-"His anger is... read more

The Psalmist praises God for having raised him up (Psalms 30:1) and healed him (Psalms 30:2). He had been very conscious of two things... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 30:1-12

XXX. Trust in God, not in Self.— The Ps. was not intended originally, as the title suggests, for the purification and dedication of the Temple in 165 B.C. after its pollution by Antiochus Epiphanes (p. 104).
