Summary

Psalm 30:1–5 – From pit to praise What happens: David thanks God for lifting him and not letting enemies rejoice. Weeping stays for a night, but joy comes in the morning. What it means: God turns sorrow into gladness. His fatherly favor outlasts His discipline.

Psalm 30:6–10 – When self-reliance breaks What happens: In prosperity David felt secure, then God hid His face and he was dismayed; he pleads for mercy. What it means: Pride forgets dependence. God kindly exposes self-confidence to restore trust.

Psalm 30:11–12 – Mourning to dancing What happens: God turns lament to dancing and clothing of joy; David resolves to give thanks forever. What it means: God is the restorer of joy. Praise is the fitting response to rescue.

Application

  • Remember past deliverances and give thanks.
  • Repent of self-reliance when shaken.
  • Testify how God turned your mourning into joy.

Bible

1A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
