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














Sing to the LORD
The phrase "Sing to the LORD" calls believers to engage in worship through song. The Hebrew word for "sing" is "zamar," which implies making music or singing praises. This act of singing is not merely a suggestion but a command to express joy and gratitude to God. Historically, singing has been a central part of Jewish worship, as seen in the Temple services and the Psalms themselves. The act of singing to the LORD is a way to acknowledge His sovereignty and goodness, creating a communal expression of faith and devotion.

O you His saints
The term "saints" comes from the Hebrew word "chasidim," which refers to those who are faithful, godly, or set apart for God. In the Old Testament context, this term often referred to the covenant people of Israel, those who were in a special relationship with God. In a broader Christian context, it extends to all believers who are called to live holy lives. This phrase emphasizes the identity of the worshippers as those who belong to God, highlighting their role in His divine plan and their responsibility to live in a manner that reflects His holiness.

and praise His holy name
"Praise His holy name" is an exhortation to honor and glorify God's character and essence. The Hebrew word for "praise" is "yadah," which means to give thanks or to confess. The "holy name" of God signifies His unique and sacred nature. In ancient Israel, names were more than mere labels; they represented the character and attributes of a person. Thus, praising God's holy name is an acknowledgment of His purity, righteousness, and other divine attributes. This phrase invites believers to reflect on God's holiness and respond with reverence and adoration, recognizing His unparalleled majesty and worthiness of worship.

(4) Sing unto . . .--Better, Play to Jehovah, ye saints of his. (See Note, Psalm 16:10.)

And give thanks.--Better, and sing praises to his holy name. (See margin.) Possibly Exodus 3:15 was in the poet's mind. (Comp. Psalm 97:12.)

Verse 4. - Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his. David continually calls upon the people to join him in his praises of God. Even when the mercy vouchsafed has been granted specially to himself, he regards the people as interested, since he is their ruler in peace and their leader in war (see Psalm 9:11; Psalm 34:3, etc.). On the present occasion, however, the people who had escaped the pestilence had almost exactly the same reason for praising and thanking God that David had, and were bound to join him in his thanksgiving service. And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness; literally, give thanks to the memorial of his holiness, which is explained, by reference to Exodus 3:15, as meaning, "Give thanks to his holy Name" (comp. Psalm 103:1; Psalm 106:47; Psalm 145:21).
