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.

7 Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

8 My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

9 What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
