Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”
Psalm 30:4-6 ESV

Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.” Philippians 4.8-9 MSG
