In Psalm 30, David gives several opening reasons why his praise to the Lord is understandable. God had lifted him out of the depths. God had healed him and spared him. David reminds us that God’s wrath is temporary, but His favor lasts a lifetime. There are so many reasons to praise the Lord and to invite others to join us in that praise. Next, David has confidence in the Lord that is unshakeable. We can have confidence because of the Lord’s mercy. David ends the psalm by noting that his worship of the Lord is unhindered. Dancing and joy are just a couple of the expressions David exhibits in singing praise to God, praise he says that will not be kept silent and will last forever.
