4 Sing praises to the Lord, you who belong to him;praise his holy name.
5 His anger lasts only a moment,but his kindness lasts for a lifetime.Crying may last for a night,but joy comes in the morning.
6 When I felt safe, I said,“I will never fear.”
7 Lord, in your kindness you made my mountain safe.But when you turned away, I was frightened.
8 I called to you, Lord,and asked you to have mercy on me.
9 I said, “What good will it do if I dieor if I go down to the grave?Dust cannot praise you;it cannot speak about your truth.
10 Lord, hear me and have mercy on me.Lord, help me.”
