1I will exalt You, O LORD,for You have lifted me upand have not allowed my foesto 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.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.6In prosperity I said,“I will never be shaken.”7O LORD, You favored me;You made my mountain stand strong.

When You hid Your face,I was dismayed.8To You, O LORD, I called,and I begged my Lord for mercy:9“What gain is there in my bloodshed,in my descent to the Pit?Will the dust praise You?Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy;O LORD, be my helper.”11You turned my mourning into dancing;You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent.O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
