4 ^aSing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of¹ His holy name. ‡

5 For ^aHis anger is but¹ for a moment,
^bHis favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning. ‡

8 I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:

9 “What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
^aWill the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth? ‡
