1I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. | 1I exalt you, LORD, for you have lifted me up, and my enemies could not gloat over me. |
2O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. | 2LORD, my God! I cried out to you for help and you healed me. |
3O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. | 3LORD, you brought me from death; you kept me alive so that I did not descend into the Pit. |
4Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. | 4You, his godly ones, sing to the LORD, give thanks at the mention of his holiness. |
5For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with 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. |
6As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” | 6As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved." |
7By your favor, O LORD, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. | 7By your favor, LORD, you established me as a strong mountain; Then you hid your face, and I was dismayed. |
8To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: | 8I cried out to you, LORD, and I make supplication to the Lord: |
9“What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? | 9"What profit is there in my death if I go down to the Pit? Can dust worship you? Can it proclaim your faithfulness?" |
10Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!” | 10Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me! LORD, help me! |
11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed 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, |
12that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever! | 12so that I may sing praise to you and not remain silent. LORD, my God, I will give you thanks forever! |
