| 0. | A Psalm of David. A Song at the dedication of the Temple. |
| 1. | I will extol thee, O LORD, for thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let my foes rejoice over me. |
| 2. | O LORD my God, I cried to thee for help, and thou hast healed me. |
| 3. | O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit. |
| 4. | Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. |
| 5. | For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. |
| 6. | As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved." |
| 7. | By thy favor, O LORD, thou hadst established me as a strong mountain; thou didst hide thy face, I was dismayed. |
| 8. | To thee, O LORD, I cried; and to the LORD I made supplication: |
| 9. | "What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise thee? Will it tell of thy faithfulness? |
| 10. | Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me! O LORD, be thou my helper!" |
| 11. | Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, |
| 12. | that my soul may praise thee and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever. |
