1 I will exalt You, Lord,because You have lifted me up and have not allowed my enemiesto triumph over me.
2 Lord my God,I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
3 Lord, You brought me up from Sheol; You spared me from among thosegoing down to the Pit.
4 Sing to Yahweh, you His faithful ones,and praise His holy name.
5 For His anger lasts only a moment,but His favor, a lifetime.Weeping may spend the night,but there is joy in the morning.
6 When I was secure, I said,“I will never be shaken.”
7 Lord, when You showed Your favor,You made me stand like a strong mountain; when You hid Your face, I was terrified.
8 Lord, I called to You;I sought favor from my Lord:
9 “What gain is there in my death,if I go down to the Pit?Will the dust praise You?Will it proclaim Your truth?
10 Lord, listen and be gracious to me;Lord, be my helper.”
11 You turned my lament into dancing;You removed my sackclothand clothed me with gladness,
12 so that I can sing to You and not be silent.Lord my God, I will praise You forever.
