Psalms 30:1-5

Mourning Turned Into Dancing by the LORD's Mercy

thanksgiving for deliverance -> summons to faithful praise -> contrast of anger and favor -> confession of complacent prosperity -> plea for mercy -> transformation of grief -> vow of unending thanks

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David.

1I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.

4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.

5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
