^{1 Ref} <A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David.> I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

^{2 Ref} O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.

^{3 Ref} O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.

^{4 Ref} Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.

^{5 Ref} For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

^{6 Ref} When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.

^{7 Ref} Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

^{8 Ref} My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

^{9 Ref} What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

^{10 Ref} Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.

^{11 Ref} By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;

^{12 Ref} So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.

^{1 Ref} > I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, And have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

^{2 Ref} Yahweh my God, I cried to you, And you have healed me.

^{3 Ref} Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

^{4 Ref} Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

^{5 Ref} For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, But joy comes in the morning.

^{6 Ref} As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

^{7 Ref} You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong. But when you hid your face, I was troubled.

^{8 Ref} I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:

^{9 Ref} "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

^{10 Ref} Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper."

^{11 Ref} You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

^{12 Ref} To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

^{1 Ref} I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

^{2 Ref} O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

^{3 Ref} O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

^{4 Ref} Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial `name'.

^{5 Ref} For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy `cometh' in the morning.

^{6 Ref} As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

^{7 Ref} Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

^{8 Ref} I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

^{9 Ref} What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

^{10 Ref} Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.

^{11 Ref} Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

^{12 Ref} To the end that `my' glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. Psalm 31 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
