Psalm 30 NKJV
The Blessedness of Answered Prayer
A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David.
30 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried out to You,
And You healed me.
3 O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive, [a]that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of [b]His holy name.
5 For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But [c]joy comes in the morning.
6 Now in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be [d]moved.”
7 Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:
9 “What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper!”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off [e]my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12 To the end that my [f]glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

Psalm 30 Commentary
“Do not let my enemy triumph over me,” David prays.
The New Testament saint knows who the enemy is. Let him not triumph!
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12
This psalm explains victory as a function of prayer. It is another way of saying, “The battle is the LORD’s”.
Of course, it should be simple, but mortals think the battle belongs to them. Instead, take it to the LORD in prayer!
Then rejoice when the LORD has delivered you!
David remembers the moment he cried out to the LORD for help. The LORD answered him, hence the song of praise with yet another timeless poster verse: “weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
Reading the Book of Psalms can be very difficult because it feels like you are reading the same things. No. The psalmists have varying life experiences, and they interact with the LORD on a daily basis.
Let prayer reflect your daily experiences.
Then David wants to justify his petition for life. “Will the dust praise you?” The value of mortals lies in their relationship with the LORD. And when there is thanksgiving and praise and worship, then the value is highest. The factory becomes busy again, producing joy.
