SCRIPTURE

"I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:" — Psalms 30:8 (ASV)

I cried to you, O Lord
In his trouble, when the Lord had hidden his face from him, and he was sensible that he had departed from him: he was not stupid and unaffected with it; nor did he turn his back upon God, and seek to others; but he cried after a departing God, which showed love to him, and some degree of faith in him, by looking again towards his holy temple, and waiting upon him until he returned;

and to the Lord I made supplication ;
in the most humble manner; entreating his grace and mercy, and that he would again show him his face and favour.
