Psalm 30
Concise Complete
Praise to God for deliverance. (1-5) Others encouraged by his example.
(6-12)
1-5. The great things the Lord has done for us, both by his providence and by
his grace, bind us in gratitude to do all we can to advance his kingdom among
men, though the most we can do is but little. God's saints in heaven sing to
him; why should not those on earth do the same? Not one of all God's perfections
carries in it more terror to the wicked, or more comfort to the godly, than his
holiness. It is a good sign that we are in some measure partakers of his
holiness, if we can heartily rejoice at the remembrance of it. Our happiness is
bound up in the Divine favour; if we have that, we have enough, whatever else we
want; but as long as God's anger continues, so long the saints' weeping
continues.
Verses 6-12 When
things are well with us, we are very apt to think that they will always be so.
When we see our mistake, it becomes us to think with shame upon our carnal
security as our folly. If God hide his face, a good man is troubled, though no
other calamity befal him. But if God, in wisdom and justice, turn from us, it
will be the greatest folly if we turn from him. No; let us learn to pray in the
dark. The sanctified spirit, which returns to God, shall praise him, shall be
still praising him; but the services of God's house cannot be performed by the
dust; it cannot praise him; there is none of that device or working in the
grave, for it is the land of silence. We ask aright for life, when we do so that
we may live to praise him. In due time God delivered the psalmist out of his
troubles. Our tongue is our glory, and never more so than when employed in
praising God. He would persevere to the end in praise, hoping that he should
shortly be where this would be the everlasting work. But let all beware of
carnal security. Neither outward prosperity, nor inward peace, here, are sure
and lasting. The Lord, in his favour, has fixed the believer's safety firm as
the deep-rooted mountains, but he must expect to meet with temptations and
afflictions. When we grow careless, we fall into sin, the Lord hides his face,
our comforts droop, and troubles assail us.
