Psalms 30:1

I will exalt you, Lord (Yahweh),
for you have drawn me up [like a dangling well-bucket, lowered med down to the water and then raised me up again],
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
[The Hebrew word for "draw me up" is dalah (not the more common alah in veres 3). It is used to describe a vessel being lowered and raised to draw water from a well. The noun form of this verb is the word for a bucket. Its main use in the Bible is in the sense of drawing water from a well, see Ex. 2:16 and Prov 20:5. But the word also has the meaning of dangling and swaying. The word can also mean to lower. In order to hoist up a bucket, it must first have been lowered. The choice of this word with its double meaning accurately describes the changes that characterize this psalm. David's life situation could be illustrated by an empty vessel that was on its way down into the well, but now it has turned around. God has filled him and pulled him up, see verse 3!]
