• You Have Turned My Mourning into Dancing

  • 1 I will exalt You, O Yahweh, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies be glad over me.
  • 2 O Yahweh my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
  • 3 O Yahweh, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.
  • 4 Sing praise to Yahweh, you His holy ones, And give thanks for the remembrance of His holy name.
  • 5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
  • 6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, “I will never be shaken.”
  • 7 O Yahweh, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
  • 8 To You, O Yahweh, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication:
  • 9 “What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?
  • 10 “Hear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me; O Yahweh, be my helper.”
  • 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
  • 12 That my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
