Song of Jacob's Trouble

Based on Psalm 30

I can praise Jehovah for the way he has changed my life.
I prayed to Jehovah and he healed me of sin.
Jehovah figuratively brought me back from the dead (I was dead in my sins) and preserves me from death so I do not end up in a hole in the ground.
Sing to Jehovah if he is sanctifying you and thank him when he think of how superior he is to you, yet he helped you.
Because he is quick to stop being angry and gives life by his favour. You may experience weeping one night but tomorrow is a new day, and Jehovah will bless you with joy.
There will be a time when I will prosper spiritually. The latter rain of the Holy Spirit will be poured out and a special work of sanctification will begin in me.  I will believe that my faith is invincible.Thousands will be converted each day, and my ministry will seem powerful.
But then I will feel like Jehovah has hidden his face from me in displeasure, and I will be torn inside.
I will pray to Jehovah, plead with Jehovah; what is the good if my blood is spilled and I die? (probation for sinners must have finished or there could be good come of it) When I am dust, will that praise you? (the dead do not praise God, being unconscious) How will I show your true nature and the everlasting gospel if I become dust? Hear me Jehovah, have mercy on me, please help me.
Then suddenly my mourning is transformed into rejoicing, suddenly the clothes of persecution are replaced with heavenly white.
Why did you do all this? It was for an end, for a final purpose; by trusting in Jehovah when it is hardest I receive glory, and this glory will beautifully declare God's glory in gratefulness for all the universe to know that God is love.
