5. For His anger lasts only a moment,but His favor, a lifetime.Weeping may spend the night,but there is joy in the morning.
6. When I was secure, I said,“I will never be shaken.”
7. Lord, when You showed Your favor,You made me stand like a strong mountain; when You hid Your face, I was terrified.
8. Lord, I called to You;I sought favor from my Lord:
9. “What gain is there in my death,if I go down to the Pit?Will the dust praise You?Will it proclaim Your truth?
10. Lord, listen and be gracious to me;Lord, be my helper.”
11. You turned my lament into dancing;You removed my sackclothand clothed me with gladness,
12. so that I can sing to You and not be silent.Lord my God, I will praise You forever.
