Context of Psalms 30:4
2O Lord my God, I cried out to you and you healed me. 3O Lord, you pulled me up from Sheol; you rescued me from among those descending into the grave. Sing to the Lord, you faithful followers of his; give thanks to his holy name. 5For his anger lasts only a brief moment, and his good favor restores one’s life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning. 6In my self-confidence I said, “I will never be upended.”
