1A Psalm; a Song of Dedication of the House of David. I will exalt You, O Jehovah; for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me.
2O Jehovah my God, I cried to You, and You have healed me.
3O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, from going down into the Pit.
4Sing praises to Jehovah, His godly ones; and give thanks to the memory of His holiness.
5For His anger is only a moment; in His favor is life. Weeping may endure in the evening, but a ringing cry of joy comes in the morning.
6And in my prosperity, I said, I shall never be moved forever.
7O Jehovah, in Your favor You have made my strong mountain to stand; You hid Your face; I was troubled;
8I called to You, O Jehovah; yea, I prayed to Jehovah.
9What profit is in my blood, in going down to the Pit? Shall the dust praise You? Shall it tell of Your truth?
10Hear, O Jehovah, and favor me; O Jehovah, be One helping me.
11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosed my sackcloth and have clothed me with gladness.
12So my glory shall praise You, and not be quiet; O Jehovah, my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
