| 1. | {A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.} I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me. |
| 2. | Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me. |
| 3. | Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol{Sheol is the place of the dead.}. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. |
| 4. | Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name. |
| 5. | 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. | As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved." |
| 7. | You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled. |
| 8. | I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication: |
| 9. | "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. | Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper." |
| 11. | You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness, |
| 12. | 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! |
