Psalms 30 I will exalt you, O Lord,for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.2 O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me."God created us to control the unified earth by the unity of the physical and spiritual. Because of sin, our physical naturally suffers our spiritual; the spiritual suffers the physical in the disorder of the earth and culture. The opposition weighs us down and deprives us of happiness. This Psalm describes God restoring our inward and outward unity by recreation. We speak this Psalm to establish emotional stability. We depend on God for divine secrets that will intentionally make us secure and happy. God controls our satisfactions and enjoyments.
29 3 O Lord, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit." We are under the potential threat of possible death. We suffer spiritually and emotionally when we are legitimately injured. Since we are naturally prompted of death, our sincere hope is always deferred. We are manipulated by death when we threatened with injury. We place our life in Gods hands by pronouncing the axioms. We receive secrets like building blocks as secure ways of thinking in response to the unique problem. We intimately connect our divine illuminations to our unique function of conscious mind and body.
30 4 Sing to the Lord, you saints of his;praise his holy name.5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."
Eternal salvation is favorably receiving everything we naturally lack from God. The Psalmist accurately describes anything that prevents from experiencing eternal happiness and genuine satisfaction as Gods anger. If God typically responded to our emotional recreations, we would be confident and happy. We infinitely need sensitive and responsive. We pronounce the shortened experience of pain and sorrow, lengthening joy and praise. Hope is secured by eternal joy over heartfelt sorrow. When we are emotionally stable, naturally feel unified with the saints. God divinely reveals the necessary secrets that will unify us personally and publicly. The theme of the Psalms is emotional stability.
30 6 When I felt secure, I said,"I will never be shaken."7 O Lord, when you favored me,you made my mountain stand firm;" when God responds to our emotional experience, we are expanded with energy. He is reflecting when he is filled with joy as the knowledge he is delighted in his own skin. God fills the gentle saints with unbounded confidence. When we are confident, we feel invincible. God created us as free moral agents who regulate the law in ruling over creation. Gods purpose is to adequately develop us confident. This is why Calvin properly says we must know ourselves. We need reflecting this pronouncement.
Ps 30 but when you hid your face,I was dismayed.8 To you, O Lord, I called;to the Lord I cried for mercy:The Psalmist pronounces the standard practice of the enlargement of his heart. He is constantly expanded. He is brilliantly illuminating the way of enlargement through functional dependence on God accurately describing his active struggles as Gods anger. Gods law is transparent in our defense of the seriousness of cursing the wicked. This is why the polar distance from God is described as anger. Consequently, his struggle is not normal. When we are constantly expanded, our appropriate response to our fierce struggle is pronouncing the Psalms. "I cried for mercy"
30 9 "What gain is there in my destruction,in my going down into the pit?Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness? We chase God in pronouncements, but God is pursuing us. When God pursues us, we are expanded with energy and confidence. The Psalmist is articulating the argument, if God shatters the confidence the Psalmist will not allow God the highest praise. If we require God to pursue us, we must maintain a compelling reason. God has hooked the Psalmist on supernatural energy. Who will pronounce your praise?This is the Psalmist continuous argument.
30 10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me;O Lord, be my help."11 You turned my wailing into dancing;you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever"Pronouncing the law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises are naturally directed to a active life of eternal joy over sorrow. The successful application of the glorious gospel is promptly turning sin and specific weakness into unbounded confidence and eternal happiness. It is transcribed in eternal pronouncements. Continuously turning corruption into eternal happiness. Voicing the opposition through the grinder of the axioms. We build happiness on happiness.
