1I will extol Thee, O LORD; for Thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. 2O LORD, my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me. 3O LORD, Thou hast brought up my soul from sheol {the grave}; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness. 5For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. 7LORD, by Thy favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; Thou didst hide Thy face, and I was troubled. 8I cried to Thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. 9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? Shall it declare Thy truth? 10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me; LORD, be Thou my helper. 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 12To the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee forever.
