Night, then morning
Week 3 · Thursday · Psalm 30: Mourning Turned to Dancing
For today
Tears may last through the night. This psalm does not deny the night; it simply says the night is not the end, and remembers mourning turned to dancing.
Begin with these verses
verse 4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name. verse 5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
verse 11You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, verse 12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
