3 you kept me from the grave.I was on my way to the depths below,but you restored my life.
4 Sing praise to the Lord,all his faithful people!Remember what the Holy One has done,and give him thanks!
5 His anger lasts only a moment,his goodness for a lifetime.Tears may flow in the night,but joy comes in the morning.
6 I felt secure and said to myself,“I will never be defeated.”
7 You were good to me, Lord;you protected me like a mountain fortress.But then you hid yourself from me,and I was afraid.
8 I called to you, Lord;I begged for your help:
9 “What will you gain from my death?What profit from my going to the grave?Are dead people able to praise you?Can they proclaim your unfailing goodness?
