1 T e ensalzaré, oh Señor, porque me has elevado, y no has permitido que mis enemigos se rían de mí.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 O h Señor, Dios mío, a ti pedí auxilio y me sanaste.

Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

3 O h Señor, has sacado mi alma del Seol; me has guardado con vida, para que no descienda al sepulcro.

Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 C antad alabanzas al Señor, vosotros sus santos, y alabad su santo nombre.

Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

5 P orque su ira es sólo por un momento, pero su favor es por toda una vida; el llanto puede durar toda la noche, pero a la mañana vendrá el grito de alegría.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

6 Y en mi prosperidad yo dije: Jamás seré conmovido.

As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”

7 O h Señor, con tu favor has hecho que mi monte permanezca fuerte; tú escondiste tu rostro, fui conturbado.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

8 A ti, oh Señor, clamé, y al Señor dirigí mi súplica:

I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:

9 ¿ Qué provecho hay en mi sangre si desciendo al sepulcro ? ¿ Acaso te alabará el polvo ? ¿Anunciará tu fidelidad ?

“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

10 E scucha, oh Señor, y ten piedad de mí; oh Señor, sé tú mi socorro.

Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”

11 T ú has cambiado mi lamento en danza; has desatado mi cilicio y me has ceñido de alegría;

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

12 p ara que mi alma te cante alabanzas y no esté callada. Oh Señor, Dios mío, te alabaré por siempre.

To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
