6 I felt secure and thought,“I'll never be shaken!”
7 You, Lord, were my friend,and you made me strongas a mighty mountain.But when you hid your face,I was crushed.
8 I prayed to you, Lord,and in my prayer I said,
9 “What good will it do youif I am in the grave?Once I have turned to dust,how can I praise youor tell how loyal you are?
10 Have pity, Lord! Help!”
11 You have turned my sorrowinto joyful dancing.No longer am I sadand wearing sackcloth.
12 I thank you from my heart,and I will never stopsinging your praises,my Lord and my God.
