30:4-5 Joy Comes with the Morning. After stating his own intention to extol the Lord, the singer turns to his fellow worshipers and urges them to join him, to sing praises and give thanks. Though there is indeed weeping in the lives of the faithful (sometimes because their misdeeds have incurred God's anger, and sometimes just because of suffering that comes from living in a fallen world), it comes to an end. Morning stands for the time when God gives relief (cf. 90:14); it might not arrive until the last day (cf. 49:14), but it will surely come.
