A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[48] Of David. I will exalt you, LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. |
|
| 2 |
LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. |
|
| 3 |
You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit. |
|
| 4 |
Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy name. |
|
| 5 |
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. |
|
| 6 |
When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.” |
|
| 7 |
LORD, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain[49] stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. |
|
| 8 |
To you, LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: |
|
| 9 |
“What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? |
|
| 10 |
Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; 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 your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever. |
