4Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of [b]His holy name.
5For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But [c]joy comes in the morning.

6Now in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be [d]moved.”
7Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

8I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:
9“What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
10Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper!”

11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off [e]my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12To the end that my [f]glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
