Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.

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

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

³ LORD, You have ^(C1)brought up my soul from ^(F1)Sheol;
You have kept me alive, ^(F2)that I would not ^(C2)go down to the pit.

^4 (C1)Sing praise to the LORD, you ^(C2)His godly ones,
And ^(C3)praise the mention of His holiness.

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 moved."

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

⁸ To You, LORD, I called,
And to the Lord I pleaded for compassion:

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

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

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

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