Psalm 30: Joy Comes In The Morning Blues

Understanding Psalm 30 - A Song of Gratitude and Redemption

*** Welcome to our exploration of Psalm 30, a powerful song of gratitude and redemption written by King David. This psalm was composed for the dedication of the temple, reflecting David's profound thankfulness for God's deliverance and healing. In times of distress, David experienced God's favor and transformation, turning his mourning into dancing.

Why David Wrote This Psalm:

David wrote Psalm 30 to express his deep gratitude for God's mercy and deliverance during times of trouble. The psalm is believed to have been inspired by a significant event in David's life when he was healed from illness or saved from his enemies. The dedication of the temple serves as a backdrop for this song, symbolizing renewal, divine favor, and the triumph of joy over sorrow. Through this psalm, David acknowledges God's faithfulness and reminds us that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 30 (World English Bible):

A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up,
and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

Yahweh my God, I cried to you,
and you have healed me.

Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.
Give thanks to his holy name.

For his anger is but for a moment.
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night,
but joy comes in the morning.

As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;
but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

I cried to you, Yahweh.
I made supplication to the Lord:

“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise you?
Shall it declare your truth?

Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.
Yahweh, be my helper.”

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

** Joy Comes in the Morning Blues - Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I was down in the pit, my soul was sinking low,
Lord, you lifted me up, didn't let my enemies crow.
I cried out for mercy, in the night I called your name,
You healed my broken heart, took away my shame.

(Chorus)
Joy comes in the morning, after the darkest night,
You turned my mourning into dancing, brought me back to the light.

(Verse 2)
Lord, you brought me up from Sheol, from the shadow of death,
You gave me hope and strength, breathed into me new breath.
When you hid your face, my heart was troubled deep,
But you heard my cries for help, from the valley so steep.

(Chorus)
Joy comes in the morning, after the darkest night,
You turned my mourning into dancing, brought me back to the light.

(Bridge)
Your anger is but a moment, your favor's a lifetime long,
Weeping may last the night, but joy’s the morning song.
You took off my sackcloth, clothed me with gladness so bright,
Now my heart sings your praises, in the day and through the night.

(Verse 3)
Lord, when I felt secure, I thought I'd never fall,
But when you turned away, I felt so small.
So I cried out for mercy, asked you to hear my plea,
You became my helper, Lord, you rescued me.

(Outro)
Joy comes in the morning, after the darkest night,
I'll thank you forever, Lord, for bringing me to the light.
