Strongs On/Off
Context
30:5 For his anger lasts only a brief moment , and his good favor restores one’s life . One may experience sorrow during the night , but joy arrives in the morning .
30:6 In my self-confidence I said , “I will never be upended .”
30:7 O Lord , in your good favor you made me secure . Then you rejected me and I was terrified .
30:8 To you, O Lord , I cried out ; I begged the Lord for mercy :
30:9 “What profit is there in taking my life , in my descending into the Pit ? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty ?
30:10 Hear , O Lord , and have mercy on me! O Lord , deliver me!”
30:11 Then you turned my lament into dancing ; you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy .
30:12 So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent ; O Lord my God , I will always give thanks to you.
