[1]I will exalt thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me.
[2]O Lord my God, I cried to thee, and thou didst heal me.
[3]O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from Hades, thou hast delivered me from among them that go down to the pit.
[4]Sing to the Lord, ye his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
[5]For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favour: weeping shall tarry for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.
[6]And I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
[7]O Lord, in thy good pleasure thou didst add strength to my beauty: but thou didst turn away thy face, and I was troubled.
[8]To thee, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication.
[9]What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to thee? or shall it declare thy truth?
[10]The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.
[11]Thou hast turned my mourning into joy for me: thou hast rent off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
[12]that my glory may sing praise to thee, and I may not be pierced with sorrow. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.
