1  I will ^sextol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up

and have not let my foes ^trejoice over me.

2  O Lord my God, I ^ucried to you for help,

and you have ^vhealed me.

3  O Lord, you have brought up my soul from ^wSheol;

you restored me to life from among those who ^xgo down to the pit.¹

4  Sing praises to the Lord, O you ^yhis saints,

and ^zgive thanks to his holy name.²

5  ^aFor his anger is but for a moment,

and ^bhis favor is for a lifetime.³

^cWeeping may tarry for the night,

but ^djoy comes with the morning.

6  As for me, I said in my ^eprosperity,

“I shall never be ^fmoved.”

7  By your favor, O Lord,

you made my ^gmountain stand strong;

you ^hhid your face;

I was ⁱdismayed.

8  To you, O Lord, I cry,

and ^jto the Lord I plead for mercy:

9  “What profit is there in my death,⁴

if I go down to the pit?⁵

Will ^kthe dust praise you?

Will it tell of your faithfulness?

10  ^lHear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!

O Lord, be my helper!”

11  You have turned for me my mourning into ^mdancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness,

12  that my ⁿglory may sing your praise and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
