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?
10. Hear, Lord, and have mercy on me.Lord, be my helper.”
