| 1I will exalt you, LORD, because you have lifted me up and have not allowed my enemies to triumph over me. | 1I exalt you, LORD, for you have lifted me up, and my enemies could not gloat over me. |
| 2LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me. | 2LORD, my God! I cried out to you for help and you healed me. |
| 3LORD, you brought me up from Sheol; you spared me from among those going down to the Pit. | 3LORD, you brought me from death; you kept me alive so that I did not descend into the Pit. |
| 4Sing to the LORD, you his faithful ones, and praise his holy name. | 4You, his godly ones, sing to the LORD, give thanks at the mention of his holiness. |
| 5For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor, a lifetime. Weeping may stay overnight, but there is joy in the morning. | 5For his wrath is only momentary; yet his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may lodge for the night, but shouts of joy will come in the morning. |
| 6When I was secure, I said, "I will never be shaken." | 6As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved." |
| 7LORD, when you showed your favor, you made me stand like a strong mountain; when you hid your face, I was terrified. | 7By your favor, LORD, you established me as a strong mountain; Then you hid your face, and I was dismayed. |
| 8LORD, I called to you; I sought favor from my Lord: | 8I cried out to you, LORD, and I make supplication to the Lord: |
| 9"What gain is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth? | 9"What profit is there in my death if I go down to the Pit? Can dust worship you? Can it proclaim your faithfulness?" |
| 10LORD, listen and be gracious to me; LORD, be my helper." | 10Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me! LORD, help me! |
| 11You turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, | 11You have turned my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with a garment of joy, |
| 12so that I can sing to you and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever. | 12so that I may sing praise to you and not remain silent. LORD, my God, I will give you thanks forever! |
