[1] I will exalt you, Lord, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.
[2] O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health.
[3] You brought me up from the grave, O Lord. You kept me from falling into the pit of death.
[4] Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name.
[5] For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.
[6] When I was prosperous, I said, “Nothing can stop me now!”
[7] Your favor, O Lord, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
[8] I cried out to you, O Lord. I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,
[9] “What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness?
[10] Hear me, Lord, and have mercy on me. Help me, O Lord.”
[11] You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
[12] that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
