Psalms 30:5
For His anger is fleeting,
What it says
God's anger is momentary and his favor lifelong; weeping may stay for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
What it is doing
This verse summarizes the restorative rhythm that underlies the psalm.
In context
1A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. 2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, 3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; 4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, 5For His anger is fleeting, 6In prosperity I said, 7O LORD, You favored me; 8To You, O LORD, I called, 9“What gain is there in my bloodshed, 10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; 11You turned my mourning into dancing; 12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent.
