5 For his anger lasts only a moment,

but his favor lasts a lifetime;

weeping may stay for the night,

but rejoicing comes in the morning.

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

5 For his anger lasts only a moment,

but his favor lasts a lifetime!

Weeping may last through the night,

but joy comes with the morning.

5 For His anger is but for a moment,

His favor is for life;

Weeping may endure for a night,

But joy comes in the morning.

5 His anger lasts only a moment,

but his kindness lasts for a lifetime.

Crying may last for a night,

but joy comes in the morning.

5 For his anger is but for a moment;

His favor is for a life-time:

Weeping may tarry for the night,

But joy cometh in the morning.

5 For a moment is passed in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.

5 His anger lasts only a moment. 

His favor lasts a lifetime. 

Weeping may last for the night, 

but there is a song of joy in the morning. 

5 For His anger lasts only a moment,

but His favor, a lifetime.

Weeping may spend the night,

but there is joy in the morning.

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.

5 For there is a moment in his anger;

there is a lifetime in his favor.

Weeping lodges for the evening,

but in the morning comes rejoicing.

5 His anger lasts for only a moment.

But his favor lasts for a person’s whole life.

Sobbing can remain through the night.

But joy comes in the morning.

5 For His anger is but for a moment,

His favor is for a lifetime;

Weeping may last for the night,

But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
