5 There's but a moment in his wrath: [Endless] life in his favour lies: Though weeping be our evening's work, Joy [with us] in the morn shall rise.
6 In health and sweet prosperity My [careless] heart affected was, As if I never should be moved, And see what [after] came to pass.

7 For thy great savour, Lord, did seem To make my [present] state secure; My mountain of prosperity Did seem so [settled] strong and sure. But when (offended by my sin) Thou hidest from me thy [pleased] face, My painful flesh and troubled soul Did [quickly] feel a changed case.
