Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 30:12

"To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever." — Psalms 30:12 (ASV)

My glory. —The suffix is missing in the Hebrew, and in all the older versions except the Septuagint and Vulgate. The Chaldee versions make the word concrete and render it as “the nobles.” The Syriac, reading the verb in a different person, makes glory the object—“then will I sing to you, Glory.” My glory would, as in Psalms 108:1, mean my heart. (See Note, Psalms 16:9.) Without the pronoun, we must (with Jerome) understand “glory” as renown or praise, which, as it were, itself raises songs; or it must be understood concretely as “everything glorious.”
