A Psalm and Song at the dedication
of the house of David.
I will
extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up,
and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
02 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou
hast healed me.
03 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the
grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not
go down to the pit.
04 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and
give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
05 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his
favour is life: weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.
06 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be
moved.

07 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain
to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I
was troubled.
08 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I
made supplication.
09 What profit is there in my blood, when I go
down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee?
shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be
thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into
dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and
girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to
thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will
give thanks unto thee for ever.
