1Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.
1I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
2LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
3LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
4Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
5For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
6As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
7Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
7You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
8I cried to you, LORD. I made supplication to the Lord:
9And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
9“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
10Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.”
11For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
12to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
13I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
