¹ I will exalt You, Lord,
because You have lifted me up^(a)
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.^(b)
2 Lord my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.^(c)
3 Lord, You brought me up from Sheol;^(d)
You spared me from among those
going down^[a] to the Pit.^(e)

⁴ Sing to Yahweh, you His faithful ones,
and praise His holy name.^(f)
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.^(g)

⁶ When I was secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."^(h)
7 Lord, when You showed Your favor,
You made me stand like a strong mountain;⁽ⁱ⁾
when You hid Your face, I was terrified.^(j)
8 Lord, I called to You;
I sought favor from my Lord:^(k)
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?^(l)
10 Lord, listen and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper."^(m)

¹¹ You turned my lament into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,^(n)
12 so that I can sing to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise You forever.^(o)
