You brought me back from death and saved me from the grave. 2 Sing praises to the LORD, all those who know his name; for while his wrath is brief, his favor knows no end. Though tears flow for a night, the morning brings new joy. 3 I said, "I am so strong, I never shall be moved"; but you, LORD, shook my life my heart was in distress. I cried out for your help and pleaded for your grace: 4 "What good am I when dead, while lying in the grave? Can dust recount your love, the grave proclaim your praise? O hear me, gracious LORD, in mercy be my aid!" 5 My mourning you have turned to dancing and to joy; my sadness you dispelled as gladness filled my soul. And so I'll sing your praise, my God, through all my days.
