1The psalm of[the]song, for the hallowing of the house of David. Lord, I shall enhance thee, for thou hast up-taken me; and thou delighted-est not mine enemies on me.

2My Lord God, I cried to thee; and thou madest me whole.

3Lord, thou leddest out my soul from hell; thou savedest me from them that go down into the pit.

4Ye saints of the Lord, sing to the Lord; and acknowledge ye to the mind of his holiness.

5For ire is in his indignation; and life is in his will. Weeping shall dwell at eventide; and gladness at the morrowtide.

6Forsooth I said in my plenty; I shall not be moved without end.

7Lord, in thy will; thou hast given virtue to my fairness. Thou turnedest away thy face from me; and I am made troubled.

8Lord, I shall cry to thee; and I shall pray to my God.

9What profit is in my blood; while I go down into corruption? Whether dust shall acknowledge to thee; either it shall tell of thy truth?

10The Lord heard, and had mercy on me; the Lord is made mine helper.

11Thou hast turned my wailing into joy to me; thou hast rent my sack-cloth, and hast encompassed me with gladness.

12That my glory sing to thee, and I be not compunct; my Lord God, I shall acknowledge to thee without end.
