In the midst of trials, you can praise God by reflecting on His past acts of deliverance and maintaining hope in His future provision. Psalm 30 illustrates this through David’s gratitude for God’s healing and restoration, emphasizing that even in times of despair, praising God can renew our sense of hope and joy.

Psalm 30
I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” By your favor, O Lord, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. To you, O Lord, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper!” You have turned for me, my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

“Psalm 30 is a song that celebrates the resurrection (of Jesus). More specifically, it is Jesus’ song of joy at his own resurrection. This is a psalm of David, which we take to mean that David is the author. But as we will see, this psalm could not refer simply to him. David was a prophet who spoke of Christ (cf. Acts 2:30, 31), and ultimately this psalm points forward to Jesus Christ, the Son of David.”
