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. |
