A melody, a song for the dedication of the house, belonging to David.1I will exalt you, O the LORD, because you have drawn me up, and you have not let my enemy rejoice over me.2O the LORD my God, I cried to you, and you healed me.3O the LORD, you brought my soul up from Sheol; you made me live instead of my going down to the pit.4Sing to the LORD, O you his pious ones, and give thanks at the memorial of his holiness.5For his anger lasts a moment, but life lasts in his acceptance; weeping lodges for the evening, but a cry comes for the morning.6As for me, I said in my prosperity, I will not be shaken forever.7O the LORD, by your acceptance you made my mountain stand in strength; when you hid your face, I was dismayed.8To you, O the LORD, I call, and to my Lord I plead for grace.9What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Will the dust give you thanks? Will it declare your truth?10Hear, O the LORD, and be gracious to me; O the LORD, be my helper.11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; you have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.12So that my glory may sing praise to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
