A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.

1 I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up,

And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

2 O Jehovah my God,

I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3 O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol;

Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

4 Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his,

And give thanks to his holy memorial name.

5 For his anger is but for a moment;

His favor is for a life-time:

Weeping may tarry for the night,

But joy cometh in the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,

I shall never be moved.

7 Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:

Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

8 I cried to thee, O Jehovah;

And unto Jehovah 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 Jehovah, and have mercy upon me:

Jehovah, be thou my helper.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing;

Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.

O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

大卫的诗：献殿之歌。 1 耶和华啊！我要尊崇你，因为你曾救拔我，

不容我的仇敌向我夸耀。

2 耶和华我的　神啊！

我曾向你呼求，

你也医治了我。

3 耶和华啊！你曾把我从阴间救上来，

使我存活，不至于下坑。

4 耶和华的圣民哪！你们要歌颂耶和华，

赞美他的圣名。

5 因为他的怒气只是短暂的，

他的恩惠却是一生一世的；

夜间虽然不断有哭泣，

早晨却必欢呼。

6 至于我，我在安稳的时候曾说：

"我必永不动摇。"

7 耶和华啊！你的恩宠，使我坚立，如同大山；

你一掩面，我就惊惶。

8 耶和华啊！我曾向你呼求；

我曾向我主恳求，说：

9 "我被害流血，下到深坑，有甚么益处呢？

尘土还能称赞你，还能传扬你的信实吗？

10 耶和华啊！求你垂听，恩待我；

耶和华啊！求你帮助我。"

11 你已经把我的悲哀变为舞蹈，

把我的麻衣脱去，又给我穿上欢乐；

12 好让我的灵*"灵"或译："荣耀"或"肝"；与16:9，57:8，108:1同歌颂你，永不停止。

耶和华我的　神啊！我要永远称赞你。
