clothe me with joy

In my sorrow, in my crying,
in my night in the pit, in Sheol,
I lift up this prayer to heaven,
to You, Almighty God…
 
Clothe me with joy,
let the dawn shine upon me,
Raise me from my struggle,
from my trials, my weeping…
 
Let me stand on the mountaintop,
may I shout Your praises on earth,
Lord, reach down and touch me
Raise me, lift me from the pit….

Psalm 30:5

For God’s anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; 

weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30
