1 I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

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

3 O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.

4 Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name.

5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved."

7 O LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

8 To You, O LORD, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication:

9 "What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

10 "Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me; O LORD, be my helper."

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
