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














O LORD my God
This phrase begins with a personal acknowledgment of God, using the covenant name "LORD" (YHWH), which signifies the eternal, self-existent nature of God. The use of "my God" indicates a personal relationship and ownership, reflecting the intimate bond between the psalmist and the divine. In Hebrew, "Elohim" is used for "God," emphasizing His power and majesty. This phrase sets the tone for a heartfelt plea, rooted in trust and reverence, acknowledging God as both sovereign and personal.

I cried to You for help
The Hebrew root for "cried" is "shava," which conveys a deep, earnest call for assistance. This is not a casual request but a desperate plea, reflecting the psalmist's urgent need for divine intervention. The act of crying out to God is a recurring theme in the Psalms, illustrating a pattern of dependence on God in times of distress. Historically, this reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of seeking divine aid in times of trouble, underscoring the belief in God's responsiveness to human suffering.

and You healed me
The word "healed" comes from the Hebrew root "rapha," which means to restore or make whole. This term is often used in the context of physical healing, but it can also imply spiritual or emotional restoration. The psalmist's declaration of healing is a testimony to God's power and faithfulness. In the broader scriptural context, healing is a sign of God's compassion and mercy, often associated with His covenant promises. This phrase encapsulates the transformative power of God's intervention, turning a moment of crisis into one of restoration and praise.

Verse 2. - O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. "Heal" may be used metaphorically for the removal of mental sufferings (see Psalm 41:4; Psalm 147:3); but David's grief when he saw the sufferings of his people from the plague seems to have wholly prostrated him, both in mind and body. For the nature of the "cry" spoken of, comp. vers. 8-10, which are an expansion of the present verse.
