The Lord Will

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 30

Meaning

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

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.
