Psalms 30:5-10 New Century Version (NCV)

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.”
