Psalms 30:4-10

⁴Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful people! Give thanks when you remember his holiness.

⁵For his anger is only for a moment; but his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping comes for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

⁶In confidence I said, “I will never be shaken.”

⁷Yahweh, by your favor you established me as a strong mountain; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

⁸I cried to you, Yahweh, and sought favor from my Lord!

⁹What advantage is there in my death, if I go down to the grave? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your trustworthiness?

¹⁰Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me! Yahweh, be my helper.
