3
O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4
Sing praise to the Lord, You saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
5
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.
6
Now in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be moved."
7
Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8
I cried out to You, O Lord; And to the Lord I made supplication:
9
"What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?
10
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper!"
11
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
