Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

¹ I will ^(C1)extol and praise You, O LORD, for You have ^(C2)lifted me up,
And have not let my ^(C3)enemies rejoice over me.

² O LORD my God,
I ^(C1)cried to You for help, and You have ^(C2)healed me.

³ O LORD, You have ^(C1)brought my life up from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead);
You have kept me alive, so that I would not ^(C2)go down to the pit (grave).

^4 (C1)Sing to the LORD, O you ^(C2)His godly ones,
And ^(C3)give thanks at the ^(C4)mention of His holy name.

⁵ For ^(C1)His anger is but for a moment,
^(F1)(C2)His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may ^(C3)endure for a night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning. ^(VR1)

⁶ As for me, in my prosperity I said,
"I shall ^(C1)never be moved."

⁷ By Your favor and grace, O LORD, you have made my mountain stand strong;
You ^(C1)hid Your face, and I was horrified.

⁸ I called to You, O LORD,
And to the Lord I made supplication (specific request).

⁹ "What profit is there in my blood (death), if I ^(C1)go down to the pit (grave)?
Will the ^(C2)dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness to man?

¹⁰ "^(C1)Hear, O LORD, be gracious and show favor to me;
O LORD, be my ^(C2)helper."

¹¹ You have turned ^(C1)my mourning into dancing for me;
You have ^(C2)taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with ^(C3)joy,

¹² That my ^(C1)soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will ^(C2)give thanks to You forever.
