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