29
1 For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
2 I will exalt thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up,
And not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me.
3 O Lord my God, I cried to thee, and thou didst heal me.
4 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from Hades,
Thou hast delivered me from among them that go down to the pit.
5 Sing to the Lord, ye his saints,
And give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
6 For anger is in his wrath,
But life in his favor:
Weeping shall tarry for the evening,
But joy shall be in the morning.
7 And I said in my prosperity,
I shall never be moved.
8 O Lord, in thy good pleasure thou didst add strength to my beauty:
But thou didst turn away thy face, and I was troubled.
9 To thee, O Lord, will I cry;
And to my God will I make supplication.
10 What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to destruction?
Shall the dust give praise to thee?
Or shall it declare thy truth?
11 The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me;
The Lord is become my helper.
12 Thou hast turned my mourning into joy for me:
Thou hast rent off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
13 That my glory may sing praise to thee, and I may not be pierced with sorrow.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to thee forever.
