Deliverance Has a Purpose
Commentators emphasize that the ultimate purpose of God's deliverance is to produce praise. The psalmist recognizes that God turned his mourning into dancing for a specific reason: so that his whole being would worship. This teaches that God's work in our lives, through both trials and blessings, is intended to cultivate a heart of perpetual gratitude.
