1 And have not let my enemies rejoice over me. | |
2 I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, | |
2 O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me. | |
3 O LORD, You have brought up my soul froma I.e. the nether worldSheol; You have kept me alive,b Some mss read from among those who go downthat I would not go down to the pit. | |
4 Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holyc Lit memorialname. | |
5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. | |
6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, “I will never be moved.” | |
7 O LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, I was dismayed. | |
8 To You, O LORD, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication: | |
9 “What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness? | |
10 “Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me; O LORD, be my helper.” | |
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, | |
12 That myd Lit glorysoul may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever. | |
