1A psalm, a song of dedication of the House, by David.
2I exalt You, Lord, for You have uplifted me, and did not allow my enemies to rejoice over me.
3Lord, my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me.
4Lord, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not descend to the pit.
5Sing to the Lord, you His pious ones, and praise His holy Name.
6For His wrath endures but for a moment, when He is conciliated there is [long] life; when one retires at night weeping, joy will come in the morning.
7In my security I thought, "I shall never falter.”
8Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; when You concealed Your countenance I was alarmed.
9I called to You, O Lord, and I made supplication to my Lord:
10What profit is there in my death, in my going down to the grave? Can dust praise You? Can it proclaim Your truth
11 Lord, hear and be gracious to me; Lord, be a help to me.
12You have turned my mourning into dancing; You have undone my sackcloth and girded me with joy.
13Therefore my soul shall sing to You, and not be silent; Lord my God, I will praise You forever.
