Psalms 30:8 - Exposition

1 cried to thee, O Lord; and unto thee I made supplication . The part of his prayer most honourable to David is not recorded by himself, but by the historians. He tells us of his secret wrestlings with God, his complaints and expostulations—his cries and pleadings as they remained in his memory; he passes over the desire to die for his people, which the historians put on record.
