Psalms 30:1. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
"I will exalt thee, for thou hast exalted me. I will lift up thy praise, because thou hast lifted up my spirits. I will bless thee, for thou hast blessed me," Our song of praise should be the echo of God’s voice of love. "Thou hast not made my foes to rejoice over me." You remember that this was one of the three things put to David as a chastisement for his great sin in numbering the people: "Wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? "He here praises the Lord that such calamity as that did not come upon him." Thou hast not made my foes to rejoice over me." Sorrows averted should be the occasion of grateful songs of thanksgiving.
