3. saving me from deathand the grave.
4. Your faithful people, Lord,will praise you with songsand honour your holy name.
5. Your anger lasts a little while,but your kindness lastsfor a lifetime.At night we may cry,but when morning comeswe will celebrate.
6. I was carefree and thought,“I'll never be shaken!”
7. You, Lord, were my friend,and you made me strongas a mighty mountain.But when you hid your face,I was crushed.
8. I prayed to you, Lord,and in my prayer I said,
9. “What good will it do youif I am in the grave?Once I have turned to dust,how can I praise youor tell how loyal you are?
10. Have pity, Lord! Help!”
11. You have turned my sorrowinto joyful dancing.No longer am I sadand wearing sackcloth.
12. I thank you from my heart,and I will never stopsinging your praises,my Lord and my God.
