American Standard Version

Psalm 30:5-10 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy cometh in the morning.

6. As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

7. Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

8. I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

9. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10. Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.
