| 1I will exalt you, LORD, because you have lifted me up and have not allowed my enemies to triumph over me. | 1A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt you, LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. |
| 2LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me. | 2LORD my God, I called 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. | 3You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit. |
| 4Sing to the LORD, you his faithful ones, and praise his holy name. | 4Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy name. |
| 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 anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. |
| 6When I was secure, I said, "I will never be shaken." | 6When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken." |
| 7LORD, when you showed your favor, you made me stand like a strong mountain; when you hid your face, I was terrified. | 7LORD, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. |
| 8LORD, I called to you; I sought favor from my Lord: | 8To you, LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: |
| 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 is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? |
| 10LORD, listen and be gracious to me; LORD, be my helper." | 10Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help." |
| 11You turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, | 11You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, |
| 12so that I can sing to you and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever. | 12that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever. |
