Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord.

In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer.

For you are great, and do great works of wonder; you only are God.

I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.

For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld.

Give me a sign for good; so that my haters may see it and be shamed; because you, Lord, have been my help and comfort.

The Lord has more love for the doors of Zion than for all the tents of Jacob.

for help by day and by night:

For my soul is full of evils, and my life has come near to the underworld.

I am numbered among those who go down into the earth; I have become like a man for whom there is no help:

My soul is among the dead, like those in the underworld, to whom you give no more thought; for they are cut off from your care.

Will you do works of wonder for the dead? will the shades come back to give you praise? (Selah.)

My song will be of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make his faith clear to all generations.

For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.

I will make your seed go on for ever, your kingdom will be strong through all generations. (Selah.)

In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.

For who is there in the heavens in comparison with the Lord? who is like the Lord among the sons of the gods?

For you are the glory of their strength; in your pleasure will our horn be lifted up.

For our breastplate is the Lord; and our king is the Holy One of Israel's.

I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.
