| 5For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. | 5For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. |

| 8I cried out to you, O LORD. I begged the Lord for mercy, saying, | 8To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: |
| 9“What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness? | 9“What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? |
| 10Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me. Help me, O LORD.” | 10Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!” |
| 11You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, | 11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, |
| 12that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever! | 12that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever! |
