¹ I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast ^[a]raised me up,
And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
² O Jehovah my God,
I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
³ O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol;
Thou hast kept me alive, ^[b]that I should not go down to the pit.
⁴ Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his,
And give thanks to his holy memorial name.
⁵ For his anger is but for a moment;
^[c]His favor is for a life-time:
Weeping ^[d]may tarry for the night,
But joy cometh in the morning.
⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity,
I shall never be moved.
⁷ Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:
Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
⁸ I cried to thee, O Jehovah;
And unto Jehovah I made supplication:
⁹ What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me:
Jehovah, be thou my helper.
¹¹ Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing;
Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
¹² To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
