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

And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3 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.

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

And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life:

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

6 And in my prosperity I said,

I shall never be moved.

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

Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8 I cried to thee, O Lord;

And unto the Lord I made supplication.

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

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

Lord, be thou my helper.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:

Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12 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.
