Weeping may linger for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.^(O)

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity,
    “I shall never be moved.”
⁷ By your favor, O Lord,
    you had established me as a strong mountain;
you hid your face;
    I was dismayed.^(P)

⁸ To you, O Lord, I cried,
    and to the Lord I made supplication:
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?^(Q)
10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!”^[d]

¹¹ You have turned my mourning into dancing;

9 for he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.^(H)

    the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.^(K)

    all the inhabitants of the earth—
¹⁵ he who fashions the hearts of them all
    and observes all their deeds.^(M)
16 A king is not saved by his great army;
    a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.^(N)
17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
    and by its great might it cannot save.^(O)

    even as we hope in you.
