1(30) For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will exalt you, O Lord; for you have lifted me up, and not caused my enemies to rejoice over me.
1I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2O Lord my God, I cried to you, and you did heal me.
2O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Hades, you have delivered me from [among] them that go down to the pit.
3O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing to the Lord, you⌃ his saints , and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
4Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favor: weeping shall wait for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.
5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6And I said in my prosperity , I shall never be moved.
6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7O Lord, in your good pleasure you did add strength to my beauty: but you did turn away your face, and I was troubled.

8To you, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication.
8I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to you? or shall it declare your truth?
9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.
10Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
11You have turned my mourning into joy for me: you have torn off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12that my glory may sing praise to you, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
12To 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.
