Psalm 30:7
“Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 30Meaning
By the LORD’s favor the speaker’s mountain stood strong, but when God hid his face he was troubled; the verse holds gift and dependence together without making every anxious season evidence of divine rejection.
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
By the LORD’s favor the speaker’s mountain stood strong, but when God hid his face he was troubled; the verse holds gift and dependence together without making every anxious season evidence of divine rejection.
Reflection
