1:
A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house: I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
2:
O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.
3:
Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.
4:
Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.
5:
For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.
6:
And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.
7:
O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.
8:
To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.
9:
What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?
10:
The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.
11:
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
12:
To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
