I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.
2
O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
3
You brought me up from the grave, O LORD . You kept me from falling into the pit of death.
4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
4
Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones! Praise 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.
5
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved. ”
6
When I was prosperous, I said, “Nothing can stop me now!”
7 By your favor, O Lord, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed.
7
Your favor, O LORD, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
8 To you, O Lord, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
8
I cried out to you, O LORD . I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,
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 will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper! ”
10
Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me. Help me, O LORD .”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
11
You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
12
that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!
