7. O Lord, in your good favor you made me secure.Then you rejected me and I was terrified.
8. To you, O Lord, I cried out;I begged the Lord for mercy:
9. “What profit is there in taking my life,in my descending into the Pit?Can the dust of the grave praise you?Can it declare your loyalty?
10. Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me!O Lord, deliver me!”
11. Then you turned my lament into dancing;you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy.
12. So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent;O Lord my God, I will always give thanks to you.
