| 1I exalt you, LORD, for you have lifted me up, and my enemies could not gloat over me. | 1A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me. |
| 2LORD, my God! I cried out to you for help and you healed me. | 2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me. |
| 3LORD, you brought me from death; you kept me alive so that I did not descend into the Pit. | 3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. |
| 4You, his godly ones, sing to the LORD, give thanks at the mention of his holiness. | 4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name. |
| 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. | 5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning. |
| 6As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved." | 6In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.” |
| 7By your favor, LORD, you established me as a strong mountain; Then you hid your face, and I was dismayed. | 7O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed. |
| 8I cried out to you, LORD, and I make supplication to the Lord: | 8To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy: |
| 9"What profit is there in my death if I go down to the Pit? Can dust worship you? Can it proclaim your faithfulness?" | 9“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness? |
| 10Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me! LORD, help me! | 10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.” |
| 11You have turned my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with a garment of joy, | 11You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, |
| 12so that I may sing praise to you and not remain silent. LORD, my God, I will give you thanks forever! | 12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever. |
