1 A Psalm. A song of the dedication of the house of David.
I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.
2 Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.
3 Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. Soul from the grave – Sheol, oblivion, death--not torment. E348, E363

We are still in the night of weeping. R4892:1

The Gospel age is part of the world's dark night. R1877:5

The healing of diseases of mind and body will not be complete until the Millennial morning. R2028:3

Sickness, sorrow, sighing, and dying continue; and will continue until the glorious morning of Messiah's Kingdom. OV176:1; R4892:1

Jesus had a night of weeping, of "strong crying and tears," (Heb. 5:7); being "sorrowful, even unto death." (Matt. 26:38) R302:5 *

But joy cometh – Showing the strong contrast between the present evil age and the coming age of righteousness. R2398:2

Note three contrasts: the length of the night with the longer day; the cause of the night with the cause of the morning; the cause of weeping with the cause of joy. R1868:3

When that which is perfect shall have come. R3259:3

Whose glory, brightness, and blessing will fully compensate for all the dark shadows of the nightime past. SM789:2; R6013:1

The great antitypical Sabbath, the seventh thousand-year day. R5273:2; SM471:1

The Millennial morning is already here, but it is early--not yet light except for the Morning Star. It will be some time yet before the Sun of Righteousness shall arise. R348:6

We can see the reflection from the "Sun," although it has not yet arisen. We are now in the early dawn. R5097:6

The night will give way to the glorious day of his presence. HG433:3

"The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in his beams." (Mal. 4:2) HG336:5

The path of the elect is a dark way, a nighttime when the Word of the Lord is a "lamp to their feet"; the path of the non-elect in the Millennium will be radiant because the Sun of Righteousness shall arise. R3026:5,6


6 And I I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved to the age.
7 O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face I have been troubled. Made my mountain – My Kingdom. A318

8 Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.
9 'What gain [is] in my blood In my going down unto corruption Doth dust thank Thee doth it declare Thy truth
10 Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'
11 Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy. Hast turned for me – The chastened and converted world. C304

12 So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee! And not be silent – And never be silent. C304
