1. I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me upand have 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 have brought up my soul from Sheol;you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
4. Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,and give thanks to his holy name.
5. For his anger is but for a moment,and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry 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 made my mountain stand strong;you hid your face;I was dismayed.
8. To you, O Lord, I cry,and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
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 merciful to me!O Lord, be my helper!”
11. You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;you have loosed my sackclothand clothed me with gladness,
12. that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
