Psalm 30
1. David praises God for his deliverance
4. He exhorts others to praise him by example of God's dealings with him














(7) Lord, by thy favour--i.e., and all the while thou (not my own strength) hadst made me secure. The margin gives the literal rendering, but the reading varies between the text "to my mountain," "to my honour" (LXX., Vulg., and Syriac), and "on mountains," the last involving the supply of the pronoun "me." The sense, however, is the same, and is obvious. The mountain of strength, perhaps mountain fortress, is an image of secure retreat. Doubtless Mount Zion was in the poet's thought.

Thou didst . . .--The fluctuation of feeling is well shown by the rapid succession of clauses without any connecting conjunctions.

Verse 7. - Lord, by thy favour thou hast (rather, hadst) made my mountain to stand strong. It was thy favour which had given me the "prosperity" whereby I was exalted, and which I thought rooted in myself - which had made Zion strong, and enabled me to triumph over my enemies. But, lo! suddenly all was changed - Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. God turned his face away, declared himself angry with his servant (1 Chronicles 21:7-12), and sent the dreadful plague which in a single day destroyed seventy thousand lives. Then David, feeling that God's face was indeed turned from him, "was troubled."
