Psalms 30:3
1 I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.
4 Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
5 For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
