Joy Comes with the Morning
A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.
1
I will s extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes t rejoice over me.
2
O Lord my God, I u cried to you for help,
and you have v healed me.
3
O Lord, you have brought up my soul from w Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who x go down to the pit.
4
Sing praises to the Lord, O you y his saints,
and z give thanks to his holy name.
5
a For his anger is but for a moment,
and b his favor is for a lifetime.
c Weeping may tarry for the night,
but d joy comes with the morning.
6
As for me, I said in my e prosperity,
"I shall never be f moved."
7
By your favor, O Lord,
you made my g mountain stand strong;
you h hid your face;
I was i dismayed.
8
To you, O Lord, I cry,
and j to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9
"What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will k the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10
l Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!"
11
You have turned for me my mourning into m dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12
that my n glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
