1
A Psalm of David. A Song at the dedication of the Temple. I will extol thee, O LORD, for thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let my foes rejoice over me.
2
O LORD my God, I cried to thee for help, and thou hast healed me.
3
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
4
Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
5
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.
6
As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
7
By thy favor, O LORD, thou hadst established me as a strong mountain; thou didst hide thy face, I was dismayed.
