3 Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to the Lord, you holy ones of his.Give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment.His favour is for a lifetime.Weeping may stay for the night,but joy comes in the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,“I shall never be moved.”
7 You, Lord, when you favoured me, made my mountain stand strong;but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 I cried to you, Lord.I made supplication to the Lord:
9 “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?Shall the dust praise you?Shall it declare your truth?
