1A psalm <04210>– a song <07892> used at the dedication <02598> of the temple <01004>; by David <01732>. I will praise <07311> you, O Lord <03068>, for <03588> you lifted <01802> me up <01802>, and did not <03808> allow my enemies <0341> to gloat <08055> over me.
2O Lord <03068> my God <0430>, I cried out <07768> to <0413> you and you healed <07495> me.
3O Lord <03068>, you pulled <05927> me up <05927> from <04480> Sheol <07585>; you rescued <02421> me <05315> from among those descending into <03381> <03381> the grave <03381> <03381>.
4Sing <02167> to the Lord <03068>, you faithful followers <02623> of his; give thanks <03034> to his holy <06944> name <02143>.
5For <03588> his anger <0639> lasts only a brief moment <07281>, and his good favor <07522> restores one’s life <02416>. One may experience <03885> sorrow <01065> during the night <06153>, but joy <07440> arrives in the morning <01242>.
6In my self-confidence <07959> I <0589> said <0559>, “I will never <05769> <01077> be upended <04131>.”
7O Lord <03068>, in your good favor <07522> you made <05975> me secure <05797> <02042>. Then you rejected <06440> <05641> me and I was <01961> terrified <0926>.
8To <0413> you, O Lord <03068>, I cried out <07121>; I begged <02603> the Lord <0136> for <0413> mercy <02603>:
9“What <04100> profit <01215> is there in taking my life <01818>, in my descending <03381> into <0413> the Pit <07845>? Can the dust <06083> of the grave praise <03034> you? Can it declare <05046> your loyalty <0571>?
10Hear <08085>, O Lord <03068>, and have mercy <02603> on me! O Lord <03068>, deliver <05826> me!”
11Then you turned <02015> my lament <04553> into dancing <04234>; you removed <06605> my sackcloth <08242> and covered <0247> me with joy <08057>.
12So <04616> now my heart <03519> will sing <02167> to you and not <03808> be silent <01826>; O Lord <03068> my God <0430>, I will always <05769> give thanks <03034> to you.
