2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

Matthew Henry's Psalms Chapter 30 Bible commentary...
Praise to God for deliverance. (1-5) Others encouraged by his example. (6-12)
1-5. The great things the Lord has done for us, both by his providence and by his grace, bind us in gratitude to do all we can to advance his kingdom among men, though the most we can do is but little. God's saints in heaven sing to him; why should not those on earth do the same? Not one of all God's perfections carries in it more terror to the wicked, or more comfort to the godly, than his holiness. It is a good sign that we are in some measure partakers of his holiness, if we can heartily rejoice at the remembrance of it. Our happiness is bound up in the Divine favour; if we have that, we have enough, whatever else we want; but as long as God's anger continues, so long the saints' weeping continues.
6-12 When things are well with us, we are very apt to think that they will always be so. When we see our mistake, it becomes us to think with shame upon our carnal security as our folly. If God hide his face, a good man is troubled, though no other calamity befal him. But if God, in wisdom and justice, turn from us, it will be the greatest folly if we turn from him. No; let us learn to pray in the dark. The sanctified spirit, which returns to God, shall praise him, shall be still praising him; but the services of God's house cannot be performed by the dust; it cannot praise him; there is none of that device or working in the grave, for it is the land of silence. We ask aright for life, when we do so that we may live to praise him. In due time God delivered the psalmist out of his troubles. Our tongue is our glory, and never more so than when employed in praising God. He would persevere to the end in praise, hoping that he should shortly be where this would be the everlasting work. But let all beware of carnal security. Neither outward prosperity, nor inward peace, here, are sure and lasting. The Lord, in his favour, has fixed the believer's safety firm as the deep-rooted mountains, but he must expect to meet with temptations and afflictions. When we grow careless, we fall into sin, the Lord hides his face, our comforts droop, and troubles assail us.

This psalm tells me how good and faithful our God is, even in times of trouble. Though we are sinners His loving kindness is bound around us. They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness, oh Lord!!!

I have always loved Psalm 30:5; it is so powerful. Sorrow will soon pass away to be followed by joy!

Psalm 30, says we should have faith in God. Weeping can come in the night, but joy we usually come in the morning.

I really like this chapter. I will praise and worship our almighty God.
Timothy Wayne George's Psalms Chapter 30 comment about verse 5 on 3/02/2013, 9:27am...
Jehovah God is angry for a moment, but His favor is for a life time. Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning. King David has just cried out to God to heal him, and to save him from his enemies. The dust cannot praise Him, so God has healed the King, and all the pain of the night has turned into praise dancing. No matter what we go through in life, God is faithful, and He inhabits the praises of His people. So just keep on praising God even in times of discipline, for the weeping of the night will turn into joy in the morning.
