Psalm 30

A testimony of being healed. It includes an honest confession: when things were good, David said "I will never be shaken," then God hid His face and he fell apart. The famous line about weeping and joy is followed by real experience: sackcloth peeled off, mourning turned into dancing.

"For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5)

Versions/Hebrew: In 30:5, "stay the night" is yalin [3885], to lodge as an overnight guest. Weeping is a visitor, not a resident. YLT: "At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing." The word for "give thanks" in 30:4 and 30:12 is yadah [3034].
