Common English Bible CEB
1 I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.
1
I exalt you, LORD, because you pulled me up; you didn't let my enemies celebrate over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health.
2
LORD, my God, I cried out to you for help, and you healed me.
3 You brought me up from the grave, O LORD . You kept me from falling into the pit of death.
3
LORD, you brought me up from the grave, brought me back to life from among those going down to the pit.
4 Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name.
4
You who are faithful to the LORD, sing praises to him; give thanks to his holy name!
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.
5
His anger lasts for only a second, but his favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay all night, but by morning, joy!
6 When I was prosperous, I said, “Nothing can stop me now!”
6
When I was comfortable, I said, "I will never stumble."
7 Your favor, O LORD, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
7
Because it pleased you, LORD, you made me a strong mountain. But then you hid your presence. I was terrified.
8 I cried out to you, O LORD . I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,
8
I cried out to you, LORD. I begged my Lord for mercy:
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?
9
"What is to be gained by my spilled blood, by my going down into the pit? Does dust thank you? Does it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me. Help me, O LORD .”
10
LORD, listen and have mercy on me! LORD, be my helper!"
11 You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
11
You changed my mourning into dancing. You took off my funeral clothes and dressed me up in joy
12 that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!
12
so that my whole being might sing praises to you and never stop. LORD, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
