| 3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. | 3LORD, you brought me from death; you kept me alive so that I did not descend into the Pit. |

| 5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in 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. |
| 6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. | 6As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved." |
| 7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. | 7By your favor, LORD, you established me as a strong mountain; Then you hid your face, and I was dismayed. |
| 8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. | 8I cried out to you, LORD, and I make supplication to the Lord: |
| 9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? | 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 have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. | 10Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me! LORD, help me! |
| 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; | 11You have turned my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with a garment of joy, |
| 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 for ever. | 12so that I may sing praise to you and not remain silent. LORD, my God, I will give you thanks forever! |
