You Turned My Mourning into Dancing

A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David.

1I will exalt You, O LORD,for You have lifted me upand have not allowed my foesto rejoice over me.

2O LORD my God, I cried to You for help,and You healed me.

3O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol;You spared me from descending into the Pit.

4Sing to the LORD, O you His saints,and praise His holy name.*

5For His anger is fleeting,but His favor lasts a lifetime.Weeping may stay the night,but joy comes in the morning.

6In prosperity I said,“I will never be shaken.”

7O LORD, You favored me;You made my mountain stand strong.When You hid Your face,I was dismayed.

8To You, O LORD, I called,and I begged my Lord for mercy:

9“What gain is there in my bloodshed,in my descent to the Pit?Will the dust praise You?Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?*

10Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy;O LORD, be my helper.”

11You turned my mourning into dancing;You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

12that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent.O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
