Psalms 30:2 - Exposition

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. "Heal" may be used metaphorically for the removal of mental sufferings (see Psalms 41:4 ; Psalms 147:3 ); but David's grief when he saw the sufferings of his people from the plague seems to have wholly prostrated him, both in mind and body. For the nature of the "cry" spoken of, comp. Psalms 30:8-10 , which are an expansion of the present verse.
