Psalm 30:4

Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

2LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
