[1] I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up,
and did not let my foes rejoice over me.
[2] O LORD my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
[3] O LORD, you brought up my soul from Sheol,
restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
[4] Sing praises to the LORD, O you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy name.
[5] For his anger is but for a moment;
his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may linger for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
[6] As for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I shall never be moved."
[7] By your favor, O LORD,
you had established me as a strong mountain;
you hid your face;
I was dismayed.
[8] To you, O LORD, I cried,
and to the LORD I made supplication:
[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?
[10] Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me!
O LORD, be my helper!"
[11] You have turned my mourning into dancing;
you have taken off my sackcloth
and clothed me with joy,
[12] so that my soul may praise you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
