Psalms 30:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 30:8

I cried to thee, O Lord
In his trouble, when the Lord had hid his face from him, and he was sensible that he had departed from him: he was not stupid and unaffected with it; nor did he turn his back upon God, and seek to others; but he cried after a departing God, which showed love to him, and some degree of faith in him, by looking again towards his holy temple, and waiting upon him until he returned;

and unto the Lord I made supplication;
in the most humble manner; entreating his grace and mercy, and that he would again show him his face and favour.

Psalms 30:8 In-Context

6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved."

7 O LORD , by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

8 To You, O LORD , I called, And to the Lord I made supplication:

9 "What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

10 "Hear, O LORD , and be gracious to me; O LORD , be my helper."
