Ps 30 This individual thanksgiving psalm opens in praise to the Lord for his salvation (30:1-3), then contrasts God’s favor with his anger (30:4-7), and ends with a transformation from mourning to dancing (30:8-12). 30:title Perhaps David wrote this psalm in advance for the dedication of the Temple, making his own experience representative of the nation’s. 30:1-3 The psalmist praises God for his triumph over adversity, which he likens to salvation from the grave. 30:1 I will exalt you is a call to lift up the Lord’s name in praise and thanksgiving (34:3; 81:1; 99:5, 9; 107:32; 118:28; 145:1; see Exod 15:1; Isa 25:1). • you rescued me: God pulled the psalmist from death (Ps 30:3). • In his justice and care, God refused to let the psalmist’s enemies triumph (see 26:9; 27:12; 28:3; 31:8).
