3 You brought me up from the grave, O lord.You kept me from falling into the pit of death.
4 Sing to the lord, all you godly ones!Praise his holy name.
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,but his favor lasts a lifetime!Weeping may last through the night,but joy comes with the morning.
6 When I was prosperous, I said,“Nothing can stop me now!”
7 Your favor, O lord, made me as secure as a mountain.Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
8 I cried out to you, O lord.I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,
9 “What will you gain if I die,if I sink into the grave?Can my dust praise you?Can it tell of your faithfulness?
