[1] A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David.
[2] I will extol thee, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
[3] O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;
[4] O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
[5] Sing praise unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
[6] For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
[7] Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'
[8] Thou hadst established, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold—Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
[9] Unto Thee, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, did I call, and unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 I made supplication:
[10] 'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?
[11] Hear, O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, and be gracious unto me; 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, be Thou my helper.'
[12] Thou didst turn for me my mourning int dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;
[13] So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
