| 1. | A psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. |
| 2. | I praise you, LORD, for you raised me up and did not let my enemies rejoice over me. |
| 3. | O LORD, my God, I cried out to you and you healed me. |
| 4. | LORD, you brought me up from Sheol; you kept me from going down to the pit. |
| 5. | Sing praise to the LORD, you faithful; give thanks to God's holy name. |
| 6. | For divine anger lasts but a moment; divine favor lasts a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing. |
| 7. | Complacent, I once said, "I shall never be shaken." |
| 8. | LORD, when you showed me favor I stood like the mighty mountains. But when you hid your face I was struck with terror. |
| 9. | To you, LORD, I cried out; with the Lord I pleaded for mercy: |
| 10. | "What gain is there from my lifeblood, from my going down to the grave? Does dust give you thanks or declare your faithfulness? |
| 11. | Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper." |
| 12. | You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness. |
| 13. | With my whole being I sing endless praise to you. O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks. |
