Young's Literal Translation YLT
New International Version NIV
1 A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.
1
I will exalt you, LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
2 Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.
2
LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.
3 Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit.
3
You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,
4
Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy name.
5 For -- a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.
5
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 And I -- I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved -- to the age.
6
When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7 O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled.
7
LORD, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.
8 Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.
8
To you, LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 `What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?
9
“What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'
10
Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help.”
11 Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy.
11
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!
12
that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
