A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the house of David.

¹ I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my foes rejoice over me.
² O LORD my God, I cried out to You,
And You healed me.
³ O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.⁴ Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.⁵ For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning.

⁶ Now in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be moved.”
⁷ LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

⁸ I cried out to You, O LORD;
And to the LORD I made supplication:
⁹ “What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
¹⁰ Hear, O LORD, and have mercy on me;
LORD, be my helper!”

¹¹ You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
¹² To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
