2O Yahweh my God,
3O Yahweh, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing praise unto Yahweh, O ye saints of his,
5For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time:
6As for me, I said in my prosperity,
7Thou, Yahweh, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong:
8I cried to thee, O Yahweh; And unto Yahweh I made supplication:
9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?
10Hear, O Yahweh, and have mercy upon me:
11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.
