4 Adonai, You brought my soul up from Sheol. You kept me alive, so I would not go down to the Pit.
5 Sing praise to Adonai, His faithful ones, and praise His holy name.
6 For His anger lasts for only a moment, His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
7 When I felt secure, I said: “I will never be shaken.”
8 Adonai, in Your favor You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was terrified.
9 To You, Adonai, I called, and to my Lord I made my plea:
10 “What gain is there in my blood, in my going down to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?
