[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 have sought thee, and thou hast healed me.
[3]Thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; thou hast saved me that I should not join those who 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 there is rebuke in his anger and life in his good will; weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
[6]In my security I said, I shall never be moved.
[7]O God, by thy favor thou hast increased my glory; thou didst turn away 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 shedding my blood, when I go down to corruption? The dust will not praise thee and it will not declare thy truth.
[10]Hear, O God, and have mercy upon me; O LORD, be thou my helper.
[11]Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy; thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
[12]Therefore, I will sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD, my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
