6As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
7You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong. But when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:
9"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper."
11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever. Psalm 31 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.
