1  I will ^sextol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up

and have not let my foes ^trejoice over me.

2  O Lord my God, I ^ucried to you for help,

and you have ^vhealed me.

3  O Lord, you have brought up my soul from ^wSheol;

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

4  Sing praises to the Lord, O you ^yhis saints,

and ^zgive thanks to his holy name.²

5  ^aFor his anger is but for a moment,

and ^bhis favor is for a lifetime.³

^cWeeping may tarry for the night,

but ^djoy comes with the morning.

6  As for me, I said in my ^eprosperity,

“I shall never be ^fmoved.”

7  By your favor, O Lord,

you made my ^gmountain stand strong;

you ^hhid your face;

I was ⁱdismayed.

8  To you, O Lord, I cry,

and ^jto the Lord I plead for mercy:

9  “What profit is there in my death,⁴

if I go down to the pit?⁵

Will ^kthe dust praise you?

Will it tell of your faithfulness?

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

O Lord, be my helper!”

11  You have turned for me my mourning into ^mdancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness,

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

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

1  ^xClap your hands, all peoples!

^yShout to God with loud songs of joy!

2  For the Lord, the Most High, ^zis to be feared,

^aa great king over all the earth.

3  He ^bsubdued peoples under us,

and nations under our feet.

4  He chose our ^cheritage for us,

^dthe pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

5  God ^ehas gone up with a shout,

the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.

6  Sing praises to God, sing praises!

Sing praises to our King, sing praises!

7  For God is ^fthe King of all the earth;

sing praises ^gwith a psalm!¹

8  God ^hreigns over the nations;

God sits on his holy throne.

9  ⁱThe princes of the peoples gather

as the people of the God of Abraham.

For ^jthe shields of the earth belong to God;

he is highly exalted!

1  ^xThe Lord reigns, ^ylet the earth rejoice;

let the many ^zcoastlands be glad!

2  ^aClouds and thick darkness are all around him;

^brighteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3  ^cFire goes before him

and burns up his adversaries all around.

4  His ^dlightnings light up the world;

the earth sees and ^etrembles.

5  The mountains ^fmelt like ^gwax before the Lord,

before ^hthe Lord of all the earth.

6  ⁱThe heavens proclaim his righteousness,

and all ^jthe peoples see his glory.

7  All worshipers of images are ^kput to shame,

who make their boast in ^lworthless idols;

^mworship him, all you gods!

8  Zion hears and ⁿis glad,

and the daughters of Judah rejoice,

because of your judgments, O Lord.

9  For you, O Lord, are ^omost high over all the earth;

you are exalted far above ^pall gods.

10  O you who love the Lord, ^qhate evil!

He ^rpreserves the lives of his ^ssaints;

he ^tdelivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11  ^uLight ^vis sown¹ for the righteous,

and joy for the upright in heart.

12  ^wRejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,

and ^xgive thanks to his holy name!
