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.”
|
| 11 |
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
|
| 12 |
to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
