GOD'S WORD Translation GW
New King James Version NKJV
1 I will honor you highly, O LORD, because you have pulled me out [of the pit] and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
1
A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried out to you for help, and you healed me.
2
O Lord my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.
3 O LORD, you brought me up from the grave. You called me back to life from among those who had gone into the pit.
3
O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Make music to praise the LORD, you faithful people who belong to him. Remember his holiness by giving thanks.
4
Sing praise to the Lord, You saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
5 His anger lasts only a moment. His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may last for the night, but there is a song of joy in the morning.
5
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.
6 When all was well with me, I said, "I will never be shaken."
6
Now in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be moved."
7 O LORD, by your favor you have made my mountain stand firm. When you hid your face, I was terrified.
7
Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8 I will cry out to you, O LORD. I will plead to the Lord for mercy:
8
I cried out to You, O Lord; And to the Lord I made supplication:
9 "How will you profit if my blood is shed, if I go into the pit? Will the dust [of my body] give thanks to you? Will it tell about your truth?"
9
"What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have pity on me! O LORD, be my helper!
10
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper!"
11 You have changed my sobbing into dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
11
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12 so that my soul may praise you with music and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
12
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
