Read chapter 30.
This is the first psalm to be called a song in the prescript. A song that was sung at the dedication of David's house that we see was built in 2nd Samuel 7. It's perhaps also a dedication of not only David's establishment as king but also of the glorious future establishment of David's line that is Jesus Christ as king and His house forever. In this verse nine I picked out we see David remembering the cry of trouble he was facing yet also gives light to what happens when our life is taken away. David ask and declares that there is no profit if he dies. The Hebrew word for blood is Nephesh which means soul. If his soul is brought down to the pit rather than staying alive, God has no profit from it. We know from Genesis 3:19 the LORD declared to Adam, “In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.” David knows that when he dies, he will become dust. So once David returns to dust, all the praise and truth he could offer would end. Let us not wait till we are facing death to praise and tell of God's truths. In this same psalm we have the reassurance that even when we die and go to the grave He won't abandon us there but will raise us up (v.3). Praise Him today and declare one His truths to someone today.
