JFB: Psa 30:8-11

As in Psa 6:5; Psa 88:10; Isa 38:18, the appeal for mercy is based on the destruction of his agency in praising God here, which death would produce. The terms expressing relief are poetical, and not to be pressed, though "dancing" is the translation of a word which means a lute, whose cheerful notes are contrasted with mourning, or (Amo 5:16) wailing.

Clarke: Psa 30:8 - I cried to thee, O Lord

I cried to thee, O Lord - I found no help but in him against whom I had sinned. See his confession and prayer, 2Sa 24:17 (note)

Clarke: Psa 30:8 - Made supplication

Made supplication - Continued to urge my suit; was instant in prayer.

Calvin: Psa 30:8 - O Jehovah! I cried unto thee

8.O Jehovah! I cried unto thee Now follows the fruit of David’s chastisement. He had been previously sleeping profoundly, and fostering his indolence by forgetfulness; but being now awakened all on a sudden with fear and terror, he begins to cry to God. As the iron which has contracted rust cannot be put to any use until it be heated again in the fire, and beaten with the hammer, so in like manner, when carnal security has once got the mastery, no one can give himself cheerfully to prayer, until he has been softened by the cross, and thoroughly subdued. And this is the chief advantage of afflictions, that while they make us sensible of our wretchedness, they stimulate us again to supplicate the favor of God.

Haydock: Psa 30:8 - Humility

Humility. Hebrew, "affliction, thou hast known the tribulations of my soul." (St. Jerome) (Haydock) ---

Thou hast often rescued me from my enemies; and canst thou behold my present distress without pity? (Calmet) ---

when God knows his friend to be in misery, he does not fail to relieve him. (Berthier)

Gill: Psa 30:8 - I cried to thee, O Lord // and unto the Lord I made supplication

I cried to thee, O Lord,.... In his trouble, when the Lord had hid 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 unto 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.
