Psalms 30:2
O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
BSB
ASV
O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
KJV
O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
For as much as someone directs their intention towards the Lord, they elevate the Lord even more, and they themselves are elevated. Hence, he says: I will exalt you, O Lord, for you have lifted me up. For the holy person exalts the Lord, while the sinner humbles Him.
O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. David sent up prayers for himself and for his people when visited with the pestilence. He went at once to head quarters, and not roundabout to fallible means. God is the best physician, even for our bodily infirmities. We do very wickedly and foolishly when we forget God. It was a sin in Asa that he trusted to physicians and not to God.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
