1: I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and
hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. |
|
2: O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
|
|
3:
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast
kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. |
|
4: Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the
remembrance of his holiness. |
|
5: For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:
weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. |
|
6: And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
|
|
7: LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand
strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. |
|
8: I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made
supplication. |
|
9: What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? |
|
10: Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my
helper. |
|
11: Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast
put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; |
|
12: To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be
silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. |
