David praises God for his deliverance4. He exhorts others to praise him by example of God's dealings with him For His anger is fleeting This phrase highlights the temporary nature of God's anger. In the context of the Old Testament, God's anger is often depicted as a response to sin and disobedience (e.g., Exodus 32:10, Numbers 11:1). However, it is not a permanent state. The Hebrew word for "fleeting" suggests something that is momentary or passing. This reflects God's character as described in Exodus 34:6-7, where He is "slow to anger" and "abounding in love." The temporary nature of His anger contrasts with the eternal nature of His love and mercy. but His favor lasts a lifetime Weeping may stay the night but joy comes in the morning Persons / Places / Events 1.

Some supply comes to lodge with the last clause, but the image is complete and finer without. It is thoroughly Oriental. Sorrow is the wayfarer who comes to the tent for a night's lodging, but the metaphor of his taking his leave in the morning is not carried on, and we have instead the sudden waking with a cry of joy, sudden as the Eastern dawn, without twilight or preparation. Never was faith in the Divine love more beautifully expressed. (Comp. Isaiah 54:7-8.) Verse 5. - For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life; literally, for a moment (is passed) in his anger, a lifetime in his favour. God s anger is short-lived in the case of those who, having sinned, repent, and confess their sin, and pray for mercy (see vers. 8-10). His favour, on the contrary, is enduring; it continues all their life. Weeping may endure for a night; rather, at eventide weeping comes to lodge, or to pass the night; but joy cometh in the morning; or, but at morn joy arriveth (comp. Job 33:26; Isaiah 26:20; Isaiah 54:7).Parallel Commentaries ...
