Contextual Overview

⁶ For his anger is momentary, but his favor lasts a lifetime. Tears may linger for the night, but with dawn come cries of joy. ⁷ Once I was prosperous and used to say, that nothing could ever shake me — ⁸ when you showed me favor, Adonai , I was firm as a mighty mountain. But when you hid your face, I was struck with terror. ⁹ I called to you, Adonai ; to Adonai I pleaded for mercy: ¹⁰ "What advantage is there in my death, in my going down to the pit? Can the dust praise you? Can it proclaim your truth? ¹¹ Hear me, Adonai , and show me your favor! Adonai , be my helper!" ¹² You turned my mourning into dancing! You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my well-being can praise you and not be silent; Adonai my God, I will thank you forever!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me,.... By lifting up the light of his countenance again upon him; by manifesting and applying his pardoning grace to him, and by delivering him out of all his afflictions;

Lord, be thou my helper; in this time of trouble; for he knew that vain was the help of man; and he was entirely in the right to betake himself to the Lord, who was able to help him, when none else could.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me, - etc. This, too, is the prayer which he uttered in the calamities adverted to in Psalms 30:7. It is a cry for mercy founded on the idea referred to in Psalms 30:9.
