Psalms 30:12 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

My glory. — The suffix is wanting in the Hebrew, and in all the older versions except LXX. and Vulg. The Chaldee versions make the word concrete and render “the nobles.” The Syriac, reading the verb in a different person, makes glory the object — “then will I sing to thee, Glory.” My glory would, as in Psalms 108:1, mean my heart. (See Note, Psalms 16:9.) Without the pronoun, we must (with Jerome) understand by “glory” renown or praise, which, as it were, itself raises songs; or it must be concrete, “everything glorious.”

Psalms 30:12

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
