Psalms 30:4-9 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

4. Praise the Lord, you who are loyal to him! Praise his holy name!

5. His anger lasts for a little while, but then his kindness brings life. The night may be filled with tears, but in the morning we can sing for joy!

6. When I was safe and secure, I thought nothing could hurt me.

7. Yes, Lord, while you were kind to me, I felt that nothing could defeat me. But when you turned away from me, I was filled with fear.

8. So, Lord, I turned and prayed to you. I asked you, Lord, to show me mercy.

9. I said, “What good is it if I die and go down to the grave? The dead just lie in the dirt. They cannot praise you. They cannot tell anyone how faithful you are.
