1 | A Canticle Psalm. In dedication to the house of David. |
2 | I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me. |
3 | O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me. |
4 | Lord, you led my soul away from Hell. You have saved me from those who descend into the pit. |
5 | Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness. |
6 | For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness. |
7 | But I have said in my abundance: "I will never be disturbed." |
8 | O Lord, in your will, you made virtue preferable to beauty for me. You turned your face away from me, and I became disturbed. |
9 | To you, Lord, I will cry out. And I will make supplication to my God. |
10 | What use would there be in my blood, if I descend into corruption? Will dust confess to you or announce your truth? |
11 | The Lord has heard, and he has been merciful to me. The Lord has become my helper. |
12 | You have turned my mourning into gladness for me. You have cut off my sackcloth, and you have surrounded me with joy. |
13 | So then, may my glory sing to you, and may I not regret it. O Lord, my God, I will confess to you for eternity. |
