Psalms 30:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 30:5

3 O Lord, ^aYou brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive,¹ that I should not go down to the pit.

4 ^aSing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of¹ His holy name.

5 For ^aHis anger is but¹ for a moment,
^bHis favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning.

6 Now in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be¹ moved.”

7 Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
^aYou hid Your face, and I was troubled.

8 I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:

9 “What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
^aWill the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?

10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper!”

11 ^aYou have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off¹ my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

12 To the end that my¹ glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
