You Have Turned My Mourning into Dancing

¹I will exalt You, O Yahweh, for You have lifted me up,

And have not let my enemies be glad over me.

²O Yahweh my God,

I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

³O Yahweh, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;

You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.

⁴Sing praise to Yahweh, you His holy ones,

And give thanks for the remembrance of His holy name .

⁵For His anger is but for a moment,

His favor is for a lifetime;

Weeping may last for the night,

But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

⁶¶Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I will never be shaken.”

⁷O Yahweh, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;

You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

⁸To You, O Yahweh, I called,

And to the Lord I made supplication:

⁹“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?

Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

¹⁰¶“Hear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me;

O Yahweh, be my helper.”

¹¹You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,

¹²That my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.[#30:12 Or soul]

O Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
