4Sing praise to the Lord, faithful people; give thanks to his holy name.
5For his anger lasts only a moment, his favor endures for a lifetime. Weeping may lodge for the night, but the morning brings shouts of joy.
6When all went well, I imagined that never should I be shaken.
7For by your favor, O Lord, you had set me on mountains strong: but you hide your face, and I was confounded.
8Then to you, Lord, I cried, to the Lord I begged for mercy,
9“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Can you be praised by dust? Can it tell of your faithfulness?
10Hear, Lord, and show me your favor, Lord be a helper to me.”
11You have turned my mourning to dancing; my sackcloth you have unloosed, and clothed me with joy:
