| 1A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me. | 1I exalt you, LORD, for you have lifted me up, and my enemies could not gloat over me. |
| 2O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me. | 2LORD, my God! I cried out to you for help and you healed me. |
| 3O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. | 3LORD, you brought me from death; you kept me alive so that I did not descend into the Pit. |
| 4Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. | 4You, his godly ones, sing to the LORD, give thanks at the mention of his holiness. |
| 5For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. | 5For his wrath is only momentary; yet his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may lodge for the night, but shouts of joy will come in the morning. |
| 6Now in my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved.” | 6As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved." |
| 7LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled. | 7By your favor, LORD, you established me as a strong mountain; Then you hid your face, and I was dismayed. |
| 8I cried out to You, O LORD; And to the LORD I made supplication: | 8I cried out to you, LORD, and I make supplication to the Lord: |
| 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? | 9"What profit is there in my death if I go down to the Pit? Can dust worship you? Can it proclaim your faithfulness?" |
| 10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper!” | 10Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me! LORD, help me! |
| 11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, | 11You have turned my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with a garment of joy, |
| 12To 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. | 12so that I may sing praise to you and not remain silent. LORD, my God, I will give you thanks forever! |
