Psalms 30 — Weeping May Endure For a Night, But Joy Cometh In the Morning

Summary

I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up. Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. I cried to thee, O Lord. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.

Key verse

“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

— Psalm 30:5

Outline
  1. v.1-5 Joy in the morning
  2. v.6-12 From mourning to dancing
Verse-by-verse
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

A perspective for dark seasons. The night is real but bounded; the morning is coming.

In his favour is life. The favored state is the lived state. To be in God's favor is to be alive in the truest sense.

Cross-references Isaiah 54:7-8 · 2 Corinthians 4:17 · Lamentations 3:31-33 · Romans 8:18
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Three changes — mourning to dancing, sackcloth off, gladness on. The complete reversal.

A reason to thank God in advance for the morning. He turns; He puts off; He girds.

Christ in this chapter

Christ turned the cross-night into resurrection morning. Every believer's night-into-morning is a derivative of His.
