Psalm 30:10
“Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 30Meaning
The plea “hear, have mercy, be my helper” gathers the psalm’s dependence into direct prayer; mercy is requested rather than manipulated by technique or merit.
False security, distress, and renewed supplication
Verses 6–10 remember confident claims of immovability, the shock of God’s hidden face, renewed crying to the LORD, and an appeal that continued life can continue praise.
Read carefully
The plea “hear, have mercy, be my helper” gathers the psalm’s dependence into direct prayer; mercy is requested rather than manipulated by technique or merit.
