1A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. 2LORD my God, I cried to you, 3LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. 4Sing praise to the LORD, you holy ones of his. 5For his anger is but for a moment. 6As for me, I said in my prosperity, 7You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; 8I cried to you, LORD. 9"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? 10Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. 11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. 12To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
