A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

30:3 the grave. The “grave” here is the Hebrew sheol, the abode of departed souls in the center of the earth. In the full sense, this verse must be a prophecy of the resurrection of Christ (see Psalm 16:10), with David’s deliverance from his enemies considered as a type thereof (Psalm 30:9).


30:5 in the morning. This psalm speaks of suffering followed by glory. That was the experience of Christ (I Peter 1:11), and is—in greater or lesser degree—the common experience of all His followers (Romans 8:18). Note also Psalm 30:11.
