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.
10. Lord, hear my prayer, and be kind to me. Lord, help me!”
11. You have changed my sorrow into dancing. You have taken away my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
