3. You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;you spared me from going down to the pit.
4. Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;praise his holy name.
5. For his anger lasts only a moment,but his favour lasts a lifetime;weeping may stay for the night,but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6. When I felt secure, I said,‘I shall never be shaken.’
7. Lord, when you favoured me,you made my royal mountain stand firm;but when you hid your face,I was dismayed.
8. To you, Lord, I called;to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9. ‘What is gained if I am silenced,if I go down to the pit?Will the dust praise you?Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
