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 When all was well with me, I said, "I will never be shaken."

7 O LORD, by your favor you have made my mountain stand firm. When you hid your face, I was terrified.

8 I will cry out to you, O LORD. I will plead to the Lord for mercy:

9 "How will you profit if my blood is shed, if I go into the pit? Will the dust [of my body] give thanks to you? Will it tell about your truth?"

10 Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me! O LORD, be my helper!
