Context of Psalms 30:5

3Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit. 4Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness. For a moment [is passed] in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing. 6As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. 7Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5For his anger endureth but a moment - Margin: There is but “a moment in his anger.” So the Hebrew. That is, his anger endures but a short time, or brief period. The reference here is to the troubles and sorrows through which the psalmist had passed, as compared with his subsequent happiness. Though at the time they might have seemed to be long, yet, as compared with the many mercies of life, with the joy which had succeeded them, and with the hopes now…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-12This individual thanksgiving psalm begins by praising the Lord for his salvation (Psalm 30:1–3). It then contrasts God's favor with his anger (Psalm 30:4–7) and ends with a transformation from mourning to dancing (30:8–12).Read the comment
