大衛的詩。獻殿之歌。

感恩的禱告

  1耶和華啊，我要尊崇你，
   因為你救了我，不讓仇敵向我誇耀。
   2耶和華－我的上帝啊，
   我呼求你，你醫治了我。
   3耶和華啊，你救我的性命脫離陰間，
   使我存活，不至於下入地府。

   4耶和華的聖民哪，你們要歌頌他，
   要頌揚他神聖的名字⚓。
   5因為，他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間，
   他的恩典乃是一生之久；
  一宿雖然有哭泣，
   早晨便必歡呼。
   6至於我，我凡事順利，就說：
   「我永不動搖。」
   7耶和華啊，你曾施恩，使我穩固如山；
   你轉臉不顧，我就驚惶。

   8耶和華啊，我曾求告你；
   我向耶和華懇求：
   9「我被害流血，下到地府，有何益處呢？
   塵土豈能稱謝你、傳揚你的信實嗎？
   10耶和華啊，求你應允我，憐憫我！
   耶和華啊，求你幫助我！」

   11你將我的哀哭變為跳舞，
   脫去我的麻衣，為我披上喜樂，
   12使我的靈⚓歌頌你，不致緘默。
   耶和華－我的上帝啊，我要稱謝你，直到永遠！

The Blessedness of Answered Prayer

A Psalm. A Song ⚓at the dedication of the house of David.
  1I will extol You, O Lord, for You have ⚓lifted me up,
   And have not let my foes ⚓rejoice over me.
    2O Lord my God, I cried out to You,
   And You ⚓healed me.
    3O Lord, ⚓You brought my soul up from the grave;
   You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
   4⚓Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
   And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.
    5For ⚓His anger is but for a moment,
   ⚓His favor is for life;
   Weeping may endure for a night,
   But joy comes in the morning.
   6Now in my prosperity I said,
   “I shall never be moved.”
    7Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
   ⚓You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
   8I cried out to You, O Lord;
   And to the Lord I made supplication:
    9“What profit is there in my blood,
   When I go down to the pit?
   ⚓Will the dust praise You?
   Will it declare Your truth?
    10Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
   Lord, be my helper!”
   11⚓You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
   You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
    12To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
   O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
