The heart made to rejoice in God Himself rather than in the prosperity given by His hand. A psalm; a song of dedication of the house. Of David.

I will extol Thee, Jehovah; for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not made my foes rejoice over me.

2. Jehovah my God! I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me.

3. Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from hades my soul; Thou hast revived me from among them that go down to the pit.

4. Sing psalms to Jehovah, ye godly ones of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.

5. For His anger is for a moment, in His favor is life; weeping may lodge at evening, and for morning there be a song of joy.

6. And I, in my prosperity I said, " I never shall be moved."

7. Jehovah, in Thy favor Thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong:Thou hiddest Thy face; I was troubled.

8. Unto Thee, Jehovah, I cried; even to Jehovah I made supplication.

9. What profit will be in my blood if I go down to corruption? will the dust give Thee thanks? will it declare Thy truth?

10. Jehovah, hear and be gracious to me; Jehovah, be 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 my glory may sing psalms to Thee and not be silent:Jehovah my God, I will give Thee thanks forever.
