¹ I will praise you, O LORD, for you lifted me up, and did not allow my enemies to gloat over me. ² O LORD my God, I cried out to you and you healed me. ³ O LORD, you pulled me up from Sheol; you rescued me from among those descending into the grave. ⁴ Sing to the LORD, you faithful followers of his; give thanks to his holy name. ⁵ For his anger lasts only a brief moment, and his good favor restores one's life. One may experience sorrow during the night, but joy arrives in the morning. ⁶ In my self-confidence I said, "I will never be upended." ⁷ O LORD, in your good favor you made me secure. Then you rejected me and I was terrified. ⁸ To you, O LORD, I cried out; I begged the Lord for mercy: ⁹ "What profit is there in taking my life, in my descending into the Pit? Can the dust of the grave praise you? Can it declare your loyalty? ¹⁰ Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me! O LORD, deliver me!" ¹¹ Then you turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy. ¹² So now my heart will sing to you and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will always give thanks to you.
