1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the house. By David: I will exalt you, ADONAI, because you drew me up; you didn't let my enemies rejoice over me.
|
1 I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
|
|
2 ADONAI my God, I cried out to you, and you provided healing for me.
|
2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.
|
|
3 ADONAI, you lifted me up from Sh'ol; you kept me alive when I was sinking into a pit.
|
3 O LORD, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit.
|
|
4 Sing praise to ADONAI, you faithful of his; and give thanks on recalling his holiness.
|
4 Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.
|
|
5 For his anger is momentary, but his favor lasts a lifetime. Tears may linger for the night, but with dawn come cries of joy.
|
5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
|
|
6 Once I was prosperous and used to say, that nothing could ever shake me
|
6 When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken."
|
|
7 when you showed me favor, ADONAI, I was firm as a mighty mountain. But when you hid your face, I was struck with terror.
|
7 O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.
|
|
8 I called to you, ADONAI; to ADONAI I pleaded for mercy:
|
8 To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:
|
|
9 "What advantage is there in my death, in my going down to the pit? Can the dust praise you? Can it proclaim your truth?
|
9 "What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
|
|
10 Hear me, ADONAI, and show me your favor! ADONAI, be my helper!"
|
10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help."
|
|
11 You turned my mourning into dancing! You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
|
11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
|
|
12 so that my well-being can praise you and not be silent; ADONAI my God, I will thank you forever!
|
12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
