Psalms 30:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 30:10

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me
By lifting up the light of his countenance again upon him; by manifesting and applying his pardoning grace to him, and by delivering him out of all his afflictions;

Lord, be thou my helper;
in this time of trouble; for he knew that vain was the help of man; and he was entirely in the right to betake himself to the Lord, who was able to help him, when none else could.

Psalms 30:10 In-Context

8 My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

9 What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

10 Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.

11 By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;

12 So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
