Lyrics

I will exalt you, Lord,
For you lifted me out of the depths
And did not let my enemies gloat over me.
Lord my God, I called, called to you for help,
And you healed me.
You Lord, you brought me up
From the realm of the dead,
You spared me from going down to the pit.

Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people,
Praise his holy name, for his anger lasts only a moment;
But his favour lasts a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night,
But joy comes in the morning.

When I felt secure, I said, ”I'll never be shaken.”
Lord, you favoured me, you made my royal mountain stand firm.
But when you hid your face from me
I was dismayed.

Instrumental

To you, O Lord, I called,
To the Lord I cried for mercy:
“What is gained if I am silenced—
If I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
O Lord, hear and be merciful to me!
Lord, be my help!”

Instrumental

You turned my wailing into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
That my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God,
I will praise you forever.
