About this psalm

A song for the dedication of the house. David thanks God for pulling him up out of the pit, and gives the line people have held on to ever since: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. He admits he had grown comfortable and said he would never be moved. The psalm ends with mourning turned into dancing and sackcloth swapped for gladness.

Read it the morning after a long night.

¹I will extol thee, O LORD;for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.²O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.³O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave:thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.⁴Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.⁵For his anger endureth but a moment;in his favour is life:weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.⁶And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.⁷LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.⁸I cried to thee, O LORD;and unto the LORD I made supplication.⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?¹⁰Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me:LORD, be thou my helper.¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing:thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;¹²To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
