Psalm Ps. 30. According to the title, David composed Psalm 30 for the temple’s dedication (which took place after David died, 1 Kings 8:63). The psalm’s theme is one of personal thanksgiving for God’s repeated care and deliverance over a lifetime. The psalm is based on David’s experience, and the worshipers can liken their own experiences to his.
Ps. 30:1–3 I will extol you. The singer is led to praise God by three experiences: deliverance from the attacks of the foes, answered prayer in desperate circumstances, and rescue from approaching death.
Ps. 30:4–5 The singer urges his fellow worshipers to join him, to sing praises and give thanks. Though there is indeed weeping in the lives of the faithful, it comes to an end. Morning stands for the time when God gives relief (compare 90:14).
Ps. 30:6–7 It is God who makes the believer’s mountain stand strong (a picture of unshakable security). If the Lord should remove his care, the faithful are undone.
Ps. 30:8–10 The mere prolonging of earthly days is not the goal of deliverance. The faithful live to praise God, to tell of his faithfulness.
Ps. 30:11–12 My glory is a poetical term in Psalms for one’s whole being (see 16:9; 108:1).
