Psalms 30:8 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

Here begins the humble prayer which the sore chastisement led David to offer.

I cried ... - having none else to flee to, and desiring none else.

I made supplication (Ethchannan) - 'I supplicated FOR GRACE,' as distinguished from a claim on the ground of merits.
