For what do we pray in the fifth request?

Sing Praises to the Lord for His Favor

Psalm 30:1-12

Key Verse: 30:4-5

  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.
