[1] I will extol Thee, O LORD, for Thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. [2] O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me. [3] O LORD, Thou hast brought up my soul from the grave; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. [4] Sing unto the LORD, O ye His saints, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness. [5] For His anger endureth but a moment, and in His favor is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. [6] And in my prosperity I said, "I shall never be moved." [7] LORD, by Thy favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; when Thou didst hide Thy face, I was troubled. [8] I cried to Thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication: [9] "What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? Shall it declare Thy truth? [10] Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me; LORD, be Thou my helper!" [11] Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, [12] to the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
