A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.

¹ I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up

    and have not let my foes rejoice over me.

² O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,

    and you have healed me.

³ O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;

    you restored me to life from among those who go 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 your favor, O Lord,

    you made my mountain stand strong;

  you hid your face;

    I was dismayed.

⁸ To you, O Lord, I cry,

    and to the Lord I plead for mercy:

⁹ “What profit is there in my death,

    if I go down to the pit?

  Will the dust praise you?

    Will it tell of your faithfulness?

¹⁰ Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!

    O Lord, be my helper!”

¹¹ You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

    you have loosed my sackcloth

    and clothed me with gladness,

¹² that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.

    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
