Context of Psalms 30:7

5For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. 6Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, “I will never be moved.” O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, I was dismayed. 8To You, O Lord, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication: 9“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-12Verses 6-12 When things are well with us, we are very apt to think that they will always be so.
