¹ I WILL extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.² O LORD, my God, I have sought thee, and thou hast healed me.³ Thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; thou hast saved me that I should not join those who go down to the pit.⁴ Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.⁵ For there is rebuke in his anger and life in his good will; weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

⁶ In my security I said, I shall never be moved.⁷ O God, by thy favor thou hast increased my glory; thou didst turn away thy face, and I was troubled.⁸ I cried to thee, O LORD, and unto the LORD I made supplication.⁹ What profit is there in shedding my blood, when I go down to corruption? The dust will not praise thee and it will not declare thy truth.¹⁰ Hear, O God, and have mercy upon me; O LORD, be thou my helper.¹¹ Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy; thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;¹² Therefore, I will sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD, my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
