6When I was secure, I said,“I will never be shaken.” 7Lord, when you showed your favor,you made me stand like a strong mountain;when you hid your face, I was terrified. 8Lord, I called to you;I sought favor from my Lord: 9“What gain is there in my death,if I go down to the Pit?Will the dust praise you?Will it proclaim your truth? 10Lord, listen and be gracious to me;Lord, be my helper.”11You turned my lament into dancing;you removed my sackclothand clothed me with gladness, 12so that I can sing to you and not be silent.Lord my God, I will praise 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.
