⁴ Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones,
    and give thanks to his holy name.^(D)
5 For his anger is but for a moment;
    his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.^(E)

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.^(F)

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?^(G)
10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!”^[b]

¹¹ You have turned my mourning into dancing;
    you have taken off my sackcloth
    and clothed me with joy,^(H)
12 so that my soul^[c] may praise you and not be silent.
    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.^(I)

¹¹ Woe to those who rise early in the morning
    in pursuit of strong drink,
who linger in the evening
    to be inflamed by wine,^(A)
12 whose feasts consist of lyre and harp,
    tambourine and flute and wine,
but who do not regard the deeds of the Lord
    or see the work of his hands!^(B)
13 Therefore my people go into exile for lack of knowledge;
their nobles are dying of hunger,
    and their multitude is parched with thirst.^(C)

¹⁴ Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite
    and opened its mouth beyond measure;
the nobility of Jerusalem^[a] and her multitude go down,
    her throng and all who exult in her.^(D)
15 People are bowed down, everyone is brought low,
    and the eyes of the haughty are humbled.^(E)
16 But the Lord of hosts is exalted by justice,
    and the Holy God shows himself holy by righteousness.^(F)
17 Then the lambs shall graze as in their pasture;
    fatted calves and kids^[b] shall feed among the ruins.
