Psalm 30
1 I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. 2 O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. 3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. 4 Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. 5 For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. 6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” 7 By your favor, O LORD, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. 8 To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: 9 “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? 10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!” 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
The Psalm above is written by David. It is titled “Joy Comes with the Morning”. It is said that David wrote this song for the dedication of the temple. It has also been mentioned that they think it was written upon his recovery of being very sick. It reminds me though, that through it all, the good and bad, Joy comes in the morning. That God does get angry, but He loves us and is always there for us. I am so thankful that God is there for me. Even though I am a sinner, He still loves me. His love, mercy and grace for me is amazing. Yes, Joy truly does come in the morning.
