King James Version
1I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.
I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
9“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
