1 I will lift You up, O Lord, for You have lifted me up. You have not let those who hate me stand over me in joy.

2 O Lord my God, I cried to You for help and You healed me.

3 O Lord, You have brought me up from the grave. You have kept me alive, so that I will not go down into the deep.

4 S ing praise to the Lord, all you who belong to Him. Give thanks to His holy name.

5 F or His anger lasts only a short time. But His favor is for life. Crying may last for a night, but joy comes with the new day.

6 A s for me, when all was going well, I said, “I will never be moved.”

7 O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong. But when You hid Your face, I was troubled.

8 I cried to You, O Lord. I begged the Lord for loving-kindness.

9 W hat good will come from my blood, if I go down to the grave? Will the dust thank You? Will it tell how You are faithful?

10 H ear, O Lord. And show me loving-kindness. O Lord, be my Helper.

11 Y ou have turned my crying into dancing. You have taken off my clothes made from hair, and dressed me with joy.

12 S o my soul may sing praise to You, and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
