1 I will exalt you, O Yahweh, because you have drawn me up, and have not made my enemies rejoice over me. 2 O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help to you, and you healed me. 3 O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol. You preserved me alive from among those going down to [the] pit.
4 Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful ones, and give thanks {to his holy fame}. 5 For [there is] a moment in his anger; [there is] a lifetime in his favor. Weeping lodges for the evening, but in the morning [comes] rejoicing. 6 But as for me, I had said in my prosperity, "I shall not be moved ever." 7 O Yahweh, by your favor you caused my strong mountain to stand. You hid your face. I was bewildered. 8 To you, O Yahweh, I called, and to the Lord I pleaded for grace [saying], 9 "What gain [is there] in my {death}, in my going down into [the] pit? Will [the] dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? 10 "O Yahweh, hear and be gracious to me. O Yahweh, be my helper."
11 You have turned my wailing into my dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me [with] joy 12 so that {I} may sing praises to you and not be quiet. O Yahweh, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
