For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

John 16:16-22

'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning' is a tight aphoristic match for 'you will weep and lament... but your sorrow will be turned into joy.' The night-weeping/morning-joy reversal coheres precisely with the sorrow-to-joy promise.

Mark 5:35-43 ?

'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning' — the turning of mourning into rejoicing at a child's restoration loosely echoes the psalm's reversal from lament to deliverance, set against the 'weeping and great wailing' (v.38) Jesus overturns. Thematic only; included as a faint coherence with the chapter's reversal of death into life.
