For his anger {endureth but} a moment; in his favour {is} life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy {cometh} in the morning. {his anger...: Heb. there is but a moment in his anger} {for a night: Heb. in the evening} {joy: Heb. singing}

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, {and} I was troubled. {made...: Heb. settled strength for my mountain}

I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

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