1<> I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; thou gavest me life from my descent into the grave.
4Let his merciful ones sing unto the LORD, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5For his anger [endures but] a moment; in his will is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy [comes] in the morning.
6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.
8I will cry unto thee, O GOD; and unto the Lord will I make supplication.
9What profit [is there] in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?
10Hear, O LORD and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness;
12to the end that [I] may sing glory unto thee and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.:
