1I will praise and exalt You, O Jehovah, for you lifted me up. You did not let my enemies rejoice over me. 2O Jehovah my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me. 3O Jehovah, you brought me up from the grave. You kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit. 4Sing praise to Jehovah, you his godly ones, and give thanks to his holy name. 5For His anger is only for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime! Weeping may last for the night but a shout of joy comes in the morning. 6Now as for me, I said in my prosperity: »I will never be shaken.« 7By your favor, O Jehovah, you made my mountain to stand strong. You hid your face and I was alarmed dismayed. 8To You, O Jehovah, I called. To Jehovah I made supplication: 9What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your truth? 10Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious to me. O Jehovah help me. 11You turned my mourning into dancing. You loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness. 12Now I sing praise to you. I am not silent! O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks and praise you forever.
