The psalmist reports that God heard his cry and transformed his mourning into dancing, his sackcloth into clothes of joy. The verb "heard" confirms that God responded to the prayer. The concrete reversals—mourning to dancing, sackcloth to joy—suggest that the transformation was complete. The removal of sackcloth and its replacement with joy signifies the public recognition of restoration. This verse celebrates the tangible effects of God's intervention: the psalmist is not merely healed but restored to full participation in joy.
