RR Psalm 30:6 Part 5
Shalom,
Psalm 30:6 For His anger lasts for only a moment, His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
There is a contrast in the Hebrew of this verse. The contrast is between “B’ki” (Bet-Kaf-Yud) and Rina (Resh-Nun-Hey). They both mean “to cry out,” but in totally different contexts. “B’ki” is first used in Scripture to describe the sound of wailing by Joseph when he could no longer restrain himself as he was about to reveal himself to his brothers.
Genesis 45:1 Now Joseph could no longer restrain himself in front of all those who were standing by him, so he cried out, “Get everyone away from me!” So no one stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers. 2 But he gave his voice to weeping so that the Egyptians heard, and Pharaoh’s household heard.
“Rina,” on the other hand, describes the sound of crying out as an expression of rejoicing. It describes the sound of the joyful prayer offered by Solomon during the dedication of the Temple.
1Kings 8:28 Nevertheless, turn to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplication, Adonai my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You this day.
The message here is that God turns the sorrow of mourning loss into the joy of celebrating gain. This was Yeshua’s message as he read from Isaiah in the synagogue in Nazareth…. Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of Adonai Elohim is on me, because Adonai has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, 2 to proclaim the year of Adonai’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn 3 to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of Adonai, that He may be glorified.
Much later, Yeshua prophesied a similar reversal…. John 16:20 Amen, amen I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will celebrate. You will be filled with sorrow, but your sorrow will turn to joy! The world celebrated His death on the cross, while His followers mourned. But their sorrow turned to joy on the third day at His resurrection. And we’re still celebrating today. John 16:22 So also you have sorrow now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you! Shalom shalom.
