1A psalm; a song at the dedication of the temple. A psalm of David. I will exalt you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up and have not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me.
2Yahweh my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.
3Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you have kept me alive from going down to the grave.
4Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful people! Give thanks when you remember his holiness.
5For his anger is only for a moment; but his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping comes for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6In confidence I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7Yahweh, by your favor you established me as a strong mountain; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8I cried to you, Yahweh, and sought favor from my Lord!
