Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 30:1-12

INTRODUCTION“This psalm was composed after recovery from a sickness which had very nearly proved fatal. The singer begins with an inscription of praise to God for His great goodness, and calls upon all who, like himself, had known the loving-kindness of Jehovah, to join him in his thanksgiving. Thence he passes (Psalms 30:6.) to a recital of his own experience, his pleading with God in his affliction, and God’s answer to his prayer. According to the inscription, the psalm was composed “at the... read more

Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 30:1-12

The title is, a psalm and song. Chrysostom, in his prologue, understands it of a song set to the organ, or a concert of music, and sung when David dedicated his palace in the city of Zion. Here his heart, his grateful heart, sings of all that grace had done for him. Psalms 30:12 . That my glory may sing praise to thee; that is, all the glory conferred on me, and on my kingdom. David would thus, not only dedicate his house, but his person, and all his wealth and glory to the Lord, and... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 30:1-12

Psalms 30:1-12I will extol Thee, O Lord; for Thou hast lifted me up.A Psalm of deliveranceThe 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... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 30:2

2. Thou hast healed me The word for “healed” often means, figuratively, to restore to prosperity, whether of a nation, (Psalms 60:2; Isaiah 6:10;) or, morally, of individuals, (Jeremiah 3:22;) or, physically, of bad waters and malarious marshes, (2 Kings 2:22; Ezekiel 47:9; Ezekiel 47:11.) David had suffered as the head of the nation, as a king and father for his people, and had been reduced to great distress and perplexity, from which he was now “healed” or restored. read more
