- B. The Testimony of A Tested Man.
- C. A Prayer and Its Answer.
1. (1) Thanks for victory over enemies.
I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me. a. I will extol You, O LORD: At the dedication of his own house, David did not extol himself – rather, the LORD. What might have been understood as the achievement of a man was instead the occasion for praising God. i. 2 Samuel 5:11-12 (and 1 Chronicles 14:1-2) describe the completion of King David’s palace: Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons...
2. (2) Thanks for healing.
O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me. a. I cried out to You: David lived a prayerful dependence upon God. God helped, but David cried outand prayed unto Him. b. And You healed me: No doubt there were many times when David received healing from God from both illness and injury. Yet the idea of healingis also broad enough to include the sense of God’s help and rescue from any great need. i. Many commentators believe that David remembered when God saved his life from a life-threa...
3. (3) Thanks for preservation of life.
O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. a. You have brought my soul up from the grave: We don’t know if David here described what we might call a near-death experience or if it would be more like a narrow escape from death. Either way, in his life as a soldier and leader, he had more than one time when death was near, and God rescued his soulfrom death. b. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit: David w...
1. (4) The exhortation to praise.
Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. a. Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His: Remembering the great works of God did not only cause David to praise, but also caused him to compel others to praise Him. It was fitting, because they also were saints of His, His special people. i. “He felt that he could not praise God enough himself, and therefore he would enlist the hearts of others.” (Spurgeon) b. Give thanks at the remembrance o...
2. (5) The reason for praise.
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. a. His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life: After calling God’s people to praise, King David then gave them more reasons for it. Here he rejoiced that the anger of God may be real but momentary, while His favor (acceptance, pleasure) is lasting, even for life. i. This is a contrast between the momentary nature of God’s anger with His people and the lasting favor...
3. (6-7) David’s troubled testimony.
Now in my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved.” LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled. a. In my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved”: One may wonder if David said (or sung) this to an assembly at the dedication of his palace and smiled at this line. It seems to communicate an overconfident assurance born of a season of prosperity. i. “We are never in greater danger than in the sunshine of prosperity. To be always indulg...
1. (8-10) The prayer from a time of trouble.
I cried out to You, O LORD; And to the LORD I made supplication: “What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth? Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper!” a. I cried out to You, O LORD: In Psalm 30:2 King David first said that he cried outto God. This is perhaps the content of his prayer on one of those occasions. b. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? This was...
2. (11) The joyful answer to prayer.
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, a. You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: The dedication of David’s palace was a happy event. Without specifically mentioning the dedication of the house, David used it as a reason to remember all the times God brought him from sadness to joy, from mourning to dancing. b. You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness: Using the Hebrew literary tool of repetition...
3. (12) God glorified and thanked for answered prayer.
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. a. To the end that my glory may sing praise to You: King David revealed the primary reason for God’s transforming work in his life. It wasn’t primarily to give him palaces; it was so that David could praise the LORD and not be silent. i. God worked in David’s life so that He would bring Himself glory and appropriate praise. Though it clearly benefited David, it was primarily fo...
He came to fulfill God’s covenant with David as the eternal King of Kings: “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.” (Lk. 1:32-33).
What does Psalm chapter 30 mean? The first words of this psalm connect it to a dedication. This likely refers to when David consecrated the future site of the temple (1 Chronicles 22:1; 2 Chronicles 3:1).
