| 1A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. | 1I will exalt you, LORD, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me. |
| 2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. | 2O LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health. |
| 3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. | 3You brought me up from the grave, O LORD. You kept me from falling into the pit of death. |
| 4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. | 4Sing to the LORD, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name. |
| 5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. | 5For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. |
| 6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. | 6When I was prosperous, I said, “Nothing can stop me now!” |
| 7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. | 7Your favor, O LORD, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered. |
| 8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. | 8I cried out to you, O LORD. I begged the Lord for mercy, saying, |
| 9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? | 9“What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness? |
| 10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. | 10Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me. Help me, O LORD.” |
| 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; | 11You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, |
| 12To 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. | 12that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever! |
