1. I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up,

1. and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2. O Lord my God, I cried unto thee,

2. and thou hast healed me.

3. O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:

3. thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4. Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his,

4. and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5. For his anger endureth but a moment;

5. in his favor is life:

5. weeping may endure for a night,

5. but joy cometh in the morning.

6. And in my prosperity I said,

6. I shall never be moved.

7. Lord, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:

7. thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8. I cried to thee, O Lord;

8. and unto the Lord I made supplication.

9. What profit is there in my blood,

9. when I go down to the pit?

9. Shall the dust praise thee?

9. Shall it declare thy truth?

10. Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me:

10. Lord, be thou my helper.

11. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:

11. thou hast put off my sackcloth,

11. and girded me with gladness;

12. to the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.

12. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
