4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;

praise his holy name.

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.

6 When I felt secure, I said,

“I will never be shaken.”

4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his,

And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

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.

6 And in my prosperity I said,

I shall never be moved.

4 Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones!

Praise his holy name.

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.

6 When I was prosperous, I said,

“Nothing can stop me now!”

4 Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,

And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

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.

6 Now in my prosperity I said,

“I shall never be moved.”

4 Sing praises to the Lord, you who belong to him;

praise his holy name.

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.

6 When I felt safe, I said,

“I will never fear.”

4 Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his,

And give thanks to his holy memorial name.

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.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

4 Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness. 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.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

4 Make music to praise the Lord, you faithful people who belong to him. 

Remember his holiness by giving thanks. 

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. 

6 When all was well with me, I said, 

“I will never be shaken.” 

4 Sing to Yahweh, you His faithful ones,

and praise His holy name.

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.

6 When I was secure, I said,

“I will never be shaken.”

4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones,

and give thanks to his holy name.

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.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I shall never be moved.”

4 Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful ones,

and give thanks to his holy fame.

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.

6 But as for me, I had said in my prosperity,

“I shall not be moved ever.”

4 Sing to the Lord, you who are faithful to him.

Praise him, because his name is holy.

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.

6 When I felt safe, I said,

“I will always be secure.”

4 Sing praise to the Lord, you His godly ones,

And give thanks to His holy name.

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.

6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I will never be moved.”
