| | 1 | A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. | |
| | 2 | O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me. | |
| | 3 | O LORD, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit. | |
| | 4 | Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name. | |
| | 5 | 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. | |
| | 6 | When I felt secure, I said, "I will never be shaken." | |
| | 7 | O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. | |
| | 8 | To 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? | |
| | 10 | Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help." | |
| | 11 | You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, | |
| | 12 | that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever. | |
