Commentary on Psalms 30:3

Theological / Devotional

My soul. Or, “me” (see on Ps. 16:10).

Grave. Heb. she’ol, the figurative abode of the dead (see on Prov. 15:11). The most natural explanation is to consider that the psalmist had been so severely ill that he felt he had been at the point of death.

Pit. See on Ps. 28:1.
