A Psalm.
A Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1
I will extol You, O LORD, for You hav elifted me up.
And have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2
O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You have healed me.
3
O LORD, You have brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4
Sing priase to the LORD, you saint of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
5
For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life;
Weeping my endure for a night. But joy comes in the morning.
6
Now in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved."
7
LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong.
You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
8
I cried out to You, O LORD;
And to the LORD I made supplication:
9
"What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
10
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper!"
11
You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12
To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
