   David praiseth God for his deliverance.
   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, and thou hast healed me.
   
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 kindleth against the wicked; they repent, and in a moment it is turned away, and they are in his favor, and he giveth them life; therefore, weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
   
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
   
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 When I go down to the pit, my blood shall return to the dust. I will praise thee; my soul shall declare thy truth; for what profit am I, if I do it not?
   
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 soul may give glory to thy name, and sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
