Commentary on Psalms 30:6

Theological / Devotional

In my prosperity. The psalmist contrasts his present and former experiences, and tells what he has learned through experience. When we begin to feel self-confident, God may step in and by suffering and affliction show us that permanent security is found only in Him. Happy the man who learns the lesson without having to suffer the loss of friends, property, or health.

Never be moved. A graphic expression of the extreme self-confidence that the psalmist felt at one time in his life.
