Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

PSALM 30

Ps 30:1-12. Literally, "A Psalm-Song"-a composition to be sung with musical instruments, or without them-or, "Song of the dedication," &c. specifying the particular character of the Psalm. Some suppose that of David should be connected with the name of the composition, and not with "house"; and refer for the occasion to the selection of a site for the temple (1Ch 21:26-30; 22:1). But "house" is never used absolutely for the temple, and "dedication" does not well apply to such an occasion. Though the phrase in the Hebrew, "dedication of the house of David," is an unusual form, yet it is equally unusual to disconnect the name of the author and the composition. As a "dedication of David's house" (as provided, De 20:5), the scope of the Psalm well corresponds with the state of repose and meditation on his past trials suited to such an occasion (2Sa 5:11; 7:2). For beginning with a celebration of God's delivering favor, in which he invites others to join, he relates his prayer in distress, and God's gracious and prompt answer.

1. lifted me up-as one is drawn from a well (Ps 40:2).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

30:1-5. The great things the Lord has done for us, both by his providence and by his grace, bind us in gratitude to do all we can to advance his kingdom among men, though the most we can do is but little. God's saints in heaven sing to him; why should not those on earth do the same? Not one of all God's perfections carries in it more terror to the wicked, or more comfort to the godly, than his holiness. It is a good sign that we are in some measure partakers of his holiness, if we can heartily rejoice at the remembrance of it. Our happiness is bound up in the Divine favour; if we have that, we have enough, whatever else we want; but as long as God's anger continues, so long the saints' weeping continues.


Psalm 3:3 But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head.

Psalm 35:19 Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those who hate me without cause wink maliciously.
Psalm 35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Your righteousness, And do not let them rejoice over me.
Psalm 118:28 You are my God, and I give thanks to You; You are my God, I extol You.
Psalm 145:1 A Psalm of Praise, of David. I will extol You, my God, O King, And I will bless Your name forever and ever. (NASB ©1995)
