I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. 1
O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. 2
O LORD, you brought me up from the grave ; you spared me from going down into the pit. 3
Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name. 4
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. 5
When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken." 6
O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. 7
To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: 8
"What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? 9
Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help." 10
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 11
that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever. 12
