1 I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up, and did not let my foes rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.
|
2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.
|
|
3 O Lord, you brought up my soul from Sheol, restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
|
3 O LORD, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit.
|
|
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name.
|
4 Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.
|

5 For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
|
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 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
|
6 When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken."
|
|
7 By your favor, O Lord, you had established me as a strong mountain; you hid your face; I was dismayed.
|
7 O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.
|
|
8 To you, O Lord, I cried, and to the Lord I made supplication:
|
8 To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:
|
|
9 "What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
|
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, O Lord, and be gracious to me! O Lord, be my helper!"
|
10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help."
|
|
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken off 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 soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
|
12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
