Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death |
| A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. |
|
| 1 |
I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up,
| | |
and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. |
|
|
| 2 |
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee,
|
| 3 |
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. |
|
|
| 4 |
Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his,
| | |
and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. |
|
|
| 5 |
For his anger endureth but a moment;
| | |
in his favor is life: |
|
weeping may endure for a night, |
|
but joy cometh in the morning. |
|
|
| 6 |
And in my prosperity I said,
|
| 7 |
LORD, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:
| | |
thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. |
|
|
| 8 |
I cried to thee, O LORD;
| | |
and unto the LORD I made supplication. |
|
|
| 9 |
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:
|
| 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. |
|
