A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.

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.*30.4 at…: or, to the memorial

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.*30.5 his anger…: Heb. there is but a moment in his anger*30.5 for a night: Heb. in the evening*30.5 joy: Heb. singing

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.*30.7 made…: Heb. settled strength for my mountain

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.*30.12 my glory: that is, my tongue, or, my soul

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。
