1. I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2. Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3. Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4. Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5. For 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.
6. As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
7. You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8. I cried to you, Yahweh. I made supplication to the Lord:
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?
10. Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”
