For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name's sake, Lead me and guide me.

Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength.

I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,

Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body!

For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away.

For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life.

But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, "You are my God."

Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies' sake.

Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave.

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!

Blessed be the LORD, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!

For I said in my haste, "I am cut off from before Your eyes"; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You.

Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person.

For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.Selah

For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him.

Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.

For the word of the LORD is right, And all His work is done in truth.
