You Have Turned My Mourning into Dancing

¹ I will ^(C1)exalt You, O Yahweh, for You have ^(C2)lifted me up,
And have not let my ^(C3)enemies be glad over me.

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

³ O Yahweh, You have ^(C1)brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, ^(F1)that I would not ^(C2)go down to the pit.

^4 (C1)Sing praise to Yahweh, you ^(C2)His holy ones,
And ^(C3)give thanks for the ^(C4)remembrance of His holy name.

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

⁶ Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I will ^(C1)never be shaken."

⁷ O Yahweh, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You ^(C1)hid Your face, I was dismayed.

⁸ To You, O Yahweh, I called,
And to the Lord I made supplication:

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

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

¹¹ You have turned for me ^(C1)my mourning into dancing;
You have ^(C2)loosed my sackcloth and girded me with ^(C3)gladness,

¹² That my ^(F1)(C1)glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Yahweh my God, I will ^(C2)give thanks to You forever.
