The Bible tells us about the occasion surrounding Psalm 30. It was composed at the time of the dedication of King David’s palace.

Many psalms were written because of a difficult event in the writer’s life.

This Psalm by King David is a prayer for God?s merciful protection and guidance.

Consider what it means that God owns the earth and the seas and “those who dwell therein.”

Young David was a shepherd who protected his sheep, but David understood that he needed an even greater Shepherd to help him…

Some psalms are cries for help, others are songs of praise to God. Psalm 20 is a prayer of King David asking God to help those in trouble, especially in times of war.
