1  ⁱI will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up

and have not let my foes rejoice over me.

2  O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,

and you have ^jhealed me.

3  O Lord, you have ^kbrought up my soul from Sheol;

you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.¹

4  Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,

and ^lgive thanks to his holy name.²

5  For his anger is but for a moment,

and his favor is for a lifetime.³

Weeping may tarry for the night,

but joy comes with the morning.

6  As for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I shall never be moved.”

7  By your favor, O Lord,

you made my mountain stand strong;

you ^mhid your face;

I was dismayed.

8  To you, O Lord, I cry,

and to the Lord I ⁿplead for mercy:

9  “What profit is there in my death,⁴

if I go down to the pit?⁵

^oWill the dust praise you?

Will it tell of your faithfulness?

10  ^pHear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!

O Lord, be my helper!”

11  You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness,

12  that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.

O Lord my God, ^qI will give thanks to you forever!
