Psalms 30:11 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; Thou hast turned - my mourning into dancing - Rather into piping. I have not prayed in vain. Though I deserved to be cut off from the land of the living, yet thou hast spared me, and the remnant of my people. Thou hast taken away my sackcloth, the emblem of my distress and misery, and girded me with gladness, when thou didst say to the destroying angel, when he stood over Jerusalem ready to destroy it: "It is enough, stay now thy hand;" 2 Samuel 24:16.
