Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary
(Heb.: 30:5-6) Psa 30:4 call upon all the pious to praise this God, who after a short season of anger is at once and henceforth gracious. Instead of שׁם of Jahve, we find the expression זכר in this instance, as in Psa 97:12 after Exo 3:15. Jahve, by revealing Himself, renders Himself capable of being both named and remembered, and that in the most illustrious manner. The history of redemption is, as it were, an unfolding of the Name of Jahve and at the same time a setting up of a monument, an establishment of a memorial, and in fact the erection of a זכר קדשׁ; because all God's self-attestations, whether in love or in wrath, flow from the sea of light of His holiness. When He manifests Himself to His won love prevails; and wrath is, in relation to them, only a vanishing moment: a moment passes in His anger, a (whole) life in His favour, i.e., the former endures only for a moment, the latter the whole life of a man. "Alles Ding whrt seine Zeit, Gottes Lieb' in Ewigkeit." All things last their season, God's love to all eternity. The preposition בּ does not here, as in the beautiful parallel Isa 54:7., cf. Psa 60:10, denote the time and mode of that which takes place, but the state in which one spends the time. Psa 30:6 portrays the rapidity with which love takes back wrath (cf. Isa 17:14): in the evening weeping takes up its abode with us for the night, but in the morning another guest, viz., רנּה, appears, like a rescuing angel, before whom בּכי disappears. The predicate ילין etaci does not belong to Psa 30:6 as well (Hupfeld, Hitzig). The substantival clause: and in the morning joy = joy is present, depicts the unexpectedness and surprise of the help of Him who sends בכי and רנה.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
remembrance--the thing remembered or memorial. holiness--as the sum of God's perfections (compare Psa 22:3), used as name (Exo 3:15; Psa 135:13).
John Gill Bible Commentary
Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his,.... Such to whom he has been gracious and merciful, and has blessed with pardoning grace, and justifying righteousness, adoption, and a right to eternal life; and who are holy godly persons; in whose hearts principles of grace and holiness are formed; and who are kind and bountiful to others: all which the word (o) here used signifies: and these are the Lord's; they are set apart for him, and they are sanctified by him; and therefore should sing his praises, both vocally, and with melody in their hearts; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness; which is essential to him, and in which he is glorious; and which appears in all his ways and works of providence and grace, and both in the redemption and sanctification of his people; and besides this, there is the holiness of Christ, which is imputed to his saints, and the sanctification of the Spirit, which is wrought in them; and at the remembrance of each of these it highly becomes them to give thanks to the Lord, since hereby they are made meet to be partakers of his kingdom and glory. (o) "quos ipse benignitate prosequitur", Junius & Tremellius; so Tigurine version.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
30:4 The godly should celebrate the Lord’s acts of rescue with song and praise (33:21; 97:12; 103:1; 105:3; 145:21).
Psalms 30:4
You Turned My Mourning into Dancing
3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. 4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name. 5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.

From Holy Easter Until Pentecost Without Interruption
By St. Benedict of Nursia0PSA 30:4PSA 113:3PSA 135:1PSA 147:1PSA 150:6St. Benedict of Nursia instructs that from holy Easter until Pentecost without interruption, 'Alleluia' should be said in the Psalms and responsories. From Pentecost to the beginning of Lent, 'Alleluia' should be said every night with the last six Psalms of the Night Office only. On every Sunday outside of Lent, the canticles, Morning Office, Prime, Terce, Sext, and None should be said with 'Alleluia,' while Vespers should be said with antiphons. The responsories are never to be said with 'Alleluia' except from Easter to Pentecost.
Deep Joy
By Mary Wilder Tileston0NEH 8:10PSA 30:4ROM 15:13PHP 4:4COL 3:2Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about the importance of finding deep joy in true Christianity by continually looking away from sin, obstacles, and hardships, and focusing on God's love, purpose, and will. She emphasizes that our Christianity should not be merely 'dutiful' but should be filled with joy that comes from rejoicing in the Lord. Tileston highlights that as we look up to God and find joy in Him, our faith will be strengthened, and our religion will exude power and attractiveness.
