1I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.

2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.
3LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.

5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
5For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

6As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
7O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
7You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
8I cried to you, LORD. I made supplication to the Lord:
9“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
9“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
10Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.”
11You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
12to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
