David praises God for his deliverance4. He exhorts others to praise him by example of God's dealings with him For His anger lasts only a moment The Hebrew word for "anger" here is "אַף" (aph), which can also mean "nose" or "nostrils," metaphorically representing the flaring of nostrils in anger. This anthropomorphic expression conveys God's righteous indignation, which is always just and measured. The phrase "only a moment" emphasizes the temporary nature of God's anger. In the broader scriptural context, God's anger is always purposeful, aimed at correction and restoration rather than destruction. Historically, this reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where divine discipline is a sign of His love and commitment to His people. but His favor lasts a lifetime weeping may stay for the night but joy comes in the morning "For a moment (is) in his anger, Life in his favour; In the evening comes to lodge weeping, But at morning a shout of joy." 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 ...
