Psaumes 30:1-3 BDS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 30:1-5

It was the laudable practice of the pious Jews, and, though not expressly appointed, yet allowed and accepted, when they had built a new house, to dedicate it to God, Deut. 20:5. David did so when his house was built, and he took possession of it (2 Sam. 5:11); for royal palaces do as much need God's protection, and are as much bound to be at his service, as ordinary houses. Note, The houses we dwell in should, at our first entrance upon them, be dedicated to God, as little sanctuaries. We... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 30:1

I will extol thee, O Lord ,.... Or "lift thee up on high" F11 אדוממך "superexaltabo te", Cocceius; "elevabo te", Michaelis. . The Lord is high in his name, he is the most High; and in his nature, there is none besides him, nor like unto him; and in place, he dwells in the high and holy place; he is above all, angels and men; he is above all gods; he is the King of kings, and Lord of lords; he cannot be higher than he is: to extol him, therefore, is to declare him to be what he is; to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 30:2

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee ,.... In the time of his distress and trouble; and whither should he go but unto his covenant God and Father? and thou hast healed me : either of some bodily disease that attended him; for the Lord is the physician of the body, as well as of the soul; and that either immediately, or by giving a blessing to means used; and the glory of such a mercy should be given to him: or else of soul diseases, which are natural and hereditary, epidemical, nauseous,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 30:3

O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave ,.... When his life being in danger, was near unto it, Job 33:22 ; otherwise the soul dies not, nor does it lie and sleep in the grave; or "thou hast brought up my soul from hell" F13 מן שאול "ab inferno", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Gejerus, Michaelis; so Ainsworth. ; that is, delivered him from those horrors of conscience and terrors of mind, by reason of sin, which were as hell itself unto him; see Psalm 116:3 ; thou hast... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 30:1

I will extol thee - for thou hast lifted me up - I will lift thee up, for thou hast lifted me up. Thou hast made me blessed, and I will make thee glorious. Thou hast magnified me in thy mercy; and I will show forth thy praise, and speak good of thy name. I have made some remarks on this Psalm in the Introduction. In this Psalm we find seven different states of mind distinctly marked: - It is implied, in the first verse, that David had been in great distress, and nearly overwhelmed by... read more

John Calvin

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

Verse 1 1.I will extol thee, O Jehovah! As David had been brought, as it were, from the grave to the life-giving air, he promises to extol the name of God. It is God who lifts us up with his own hand when we have been plunged into a profound gulf; and therefore it is our duty, on our part, to sing his praises with our tongues. By the foes who, he says, obtained no matter of rejoicing over him, we may understand both domestic and foreign enemies. Although wicked and evil disposed persons... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 30:1

I will extol thee, O Lord ; or, "I will exalt thee," as the word is rendered in Psalms 34:3 ; Psalms 99:5 , Psalms 99:9 ; and elsewhere. For thou hast lifted me up ; or, "drawn me up," as a bucket is drawn up out of a well, or a man out of a dungeon. And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. David had still enemies at the time of his numbering the people, as appears from 2 Samuel 24:13 . Indeed, it was doubtless with some reference to the number of his foes that he wished... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 30:1-5

The mercy of God. This psalm composed after recovery from some chastisement for sin, which had very nearly proved fatal. He praises God for lifting him up out of it, and calls upon others of a similar experience to join him in his thanksgiving. I. HE CELEBRATES WITH JOY THE MERCY OF GOD TO HIM . 1 . His recovery had put an end to the malicious exultation of his foes. ( Psalms 30:1 .) Wicked men rejoice in the downfall and calamity of the good; they accept it... read more
