Context of Psalms 30:4
2O Lord my God, I cried out to you for help, and you healed me. 3O Lord, you brought me up from the grave. You called me back to life from among those who had gone into the pit. Make music to praise the Lord, you faithful people who belong to him. Remember his holiness by giving thanks. 5His anger lasts only a moment. His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may last for the night, but there is a song of joy in the morning. 6When all was well with me, I said, “I will never be shaken.”
