- A Psalme or song of the dedication of the house of Dauid.
- 1
- I will magnifie thee, O Lorde: for thou hast exalted mee, and hast not made my foe to reioyce ouer me.
- 2
- O Lorde my God, I cried vnto thee, and thou hast restored me.
- 3
- O Lorde, thou hast brought vp my soule out of the graue: thou hast reuiued me from them that goe downe into the pit.
- 4
- Sing praises vnto the Lord, ye his Saintes, and giue thankes before the remembrance of his Holinesse.
- 5
- For he endureth but a while in his anger: but in his fauour is life: weeping may abide at euening, but ioy commeth in the morning.
- 6
- And in my prosperitie I sayde, I shall neuer be moued.
- 7
- For thou Lord of thy goodnes hadest made my mountaine to stande strong: but thou didest hide thy face, and I was troubled.
- 8
- Then cried I vnto thee, O Lord, and praied to my Lord.
- 9
- What profite is there in my blood, when I go downe to the pit?
shall the dust giue thankes vnto thee? or shall it declare thy trueth?
- 10
- Heare, O Lorde, and haue mercy vpon me: Lord, be thou mine helper.
- 11
- Thou hast turned my mourning into ioy: thou hast loosed my sacke and girded mee with gladnesse.
- 12
- Therefore shal my tongue praise thee and not cease: O Lorde my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.
