 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 *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 LORD, 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 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: 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* glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.*
 
[Psalms 29](/study/psalms/29) [Psalms 31](/study/psalms/31)
