1. I will praise you, Lord,because you rescued me.You did not let my enemies laugh at me.
2. Lord, my God, I prayed to you,and you healed me.
3. You lifted me out of the grave;you spared me from going down to the place of the dead.
4. Sing praises to the Lord, you who belong to him;praise his holy name.
5. His anger lasts only a moment,but his kindness lasts for a lifetime.Crying may last for a night,but joy comes in the morning.
6. When I felt safe, I said,“I will never fear.”
7. Lord, in your kindness you made my mountain safe.But when you turned away, I was frightened.
8. I called to you, Lord,and asked you to have mercy on me.
9. I said, “What good will it do if I dieor if I go down to the grave?Dust cannot praise you;it cannot speak about your truth.
