1A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple. I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. (2صم 5:11; 1أخ 22:1; مز 13:4; مز 25:2; مز 35:19; مز 35:24; مز 107:32)2O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. (مز 6:2; مز 88:13)3O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.[1] (مز 16:10; مز 28:1)4Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.[2] (1أخ 16:4; مز 50:5; مز 97:12)5For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime.[3] Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. (أي 33:26; مز 63:3; مز 103:9; مز 126:5; إش 26:20; إش 54:7; 2كو 4:17)6As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” (أي 29:18; مز 10:6; أم 1:32)7By your favor, O Lord, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. (تث 31:17; 2صم 5:9; 2صم 24:10; مز 104:29)8To you, O Lord, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: (مز 142:1)9“What profit is there in my death,[4] if I go down to the pit?[5] Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? (مز 6:5)10Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper!” (مز 27:7)11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, (خر 15:20; 2صم 6:14; مز 149:3; مز 150:4; إر 31:4; إر 31:13; مرا 5:15)12that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever! (مز 16:9)
