4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger kindleth against the wicked; they repent, and in a moment it is turned away, and they are in his favor, and he giveth them life; therefore, weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 Lord, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9 When I go down to the pit, my blood shall return to the dust. I will praise thee; my soul shall declare thy truth; for what profit am I, if I do it not?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; Lord, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my soul may give glory to thy name, and sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee forever.
Psalms 31 Intro: David rejoiceth in God's mercy, and praiseth him for his goodness. (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.)
1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in thy righteousness.
