Tap a verse to highlight it

1 I will extol thee, O יהוה; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 O יהוה my Elohim, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3 O יהוה, 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 יהוה, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: 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 יהוה, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8 I cried to thee, O יהוה; and unto יהוה 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 יהוה, and have mercy upon me: יהוה, 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 glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O יהוה my Elohim, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
