Psalms 30:11-12
v. 11: God answered David’s prayers and changed his sadness into joy. David says, Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness . God took away his grief and gave him happiness and strength. This teaches us that God can quickly change our troubles into blessings, and we should trust him even when things look bad. v. 12: David promises to praise God forever: To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever (Psalm 30:12 a). David wants his whole life—especially his words and his soul—to praise God. If God saves and helps us, we should not be silent. Instead, we should always give thanks and use every opportunity to praise him, both now and forever (2 Samuel 23:1 b).
