Psalm 30:5–8

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.”

7 Lord, when you favored me,

you made my royal mountain stand firm;

but when you hid your face,

I was dismayed.

8 To you, Lord, I called;

to the Lord I cried for mercy:

5 For his anger is but for a moment,

and his favor is for a lifetime.

Weeping may tarry for the night,

but joy comes with the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I shall never be moved.”

7 By your favor, O Lord,

you made my mountain stand strong;

you hid your face;

I was dismayed.

8 To you, O Lord, I cry,

and to the Lord I plead for mercy:

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!”

7 Your favor, O Lord, made me as secure as a mountain.

Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.

8 I cried out to you, O Lord.

I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,

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.”

7 Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;

You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

8 I cried out to You, O Lord;

And to the Lord I made supplication:

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.”

7 Lord, in your kindness you made my mountain safe.

But when you turned away, I was frightened.

8 I called to you, Lord,

and asked you to have mercy on me.

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.

7 Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:

Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

8 I cried to thee, O Jehovah;

And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

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. 7 Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled. 8 I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:

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.” 

7 O Lord, by your favor you have made my mountain stand firm. 

When you hid your face, I was terrified. 

8 I will cry out to you, O Lord. 

I will plead to the Lord for mercy: 

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.”

7 Lord, when You showed Your favor,

You made me stand like a strong mountain;

when You hid Your face, I was terrified.

8 Lord, I called to You;

I sought favor from my Lord:

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.”

7 By your favor, O Lord,

you had established me as a strong mountain;

you hid your face;

I was dismayed.

8 To you, O Lord, I cried,

and to the Lord I made supplication:

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.”

7 O Yahweh, by your favor

you caused my strong mountain to stand.

You hid your face. I was bewildered.

8 To you, O Yahweh, I called,

and to the Lord I pleaded for grace saying,

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.”

7 Lord, when you showed me your favor,

you made my mountain stand firm.

But when you turned your face away from me,

I was terrified.

8 Lord, I called out to you.

I cried to you for your favor.

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.”

7 O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;

You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

8 To You, O Lord, I called,

And to the Lord I made supplication:
