The use of "LORD" (Yahweh) signifies the God of Israel, the one true God who revealed Himself to Moses in the burning bush (<a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>). The possessive "my God" indicates a personal faith and trust in God, reflecting the intimate connection that believers are encouraged to have with Him. This phrase is a reminder of the personal nature of prayer and worship, as seen throughout the Psalms.<p><b>I cried to You for help</b><br>The act of crying out to God is a common theme in the Psalms, reflecting a deep dependence on God in times of distress. This cry is not just a casual request but an earnest plea, indicating the psalmist's desperation and faith that God is the only source of deliverance. This mirrors the cries of the Israelites in Egypt (<a href="/exodus/2-23.htm">Exodus 2:23-25</a>) and the consistent call for divine intervention throughout the Old Testament. It underscores the belief that God hears and responds to the prayers of His people.<p><b>and You healed me</b><br>Healing in the biblical context often refers to both physical and spiritual restoration. The psalmist acknowledges God's power to heal, which is a recurring theme in Scripture, pointing to God's compassion and mercy. This healing can be seen as a type of the ultimate healing brought by Jesus Christ, who healed many during His earthly ministry (<a href="/matthew/8-16.htm">Matthew 8:16-17</a>) and offers spiritual healing through salvation. The healing here can also be understood as a metaphor for deliverance from distress or danger, reflecting God's ability to restore and renew His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/30.htm">Psalm 30</a>, King David, is expressing gratitude for God's deliverance and healing.
