²LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

³LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.

⁴Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And praise the mention of His holiness.

⁶Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, “I will never be moved.”

⁷LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong; You hid Your face, I was dismayed.

⁸To You, LORD, I called, And to the Lord I pleaded for compassion:

⁹“What gain is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

¹⁰“Hear, LORD, and be gracious to me; LORD, be my helper.”

¹¹You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have untied my sackcloth and encircled me with joy,

¹²That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

¹In You, LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be put to shame; In Your righteousness rescue me.

³For You are my rock and my fortress; For the sake of Your name You will lead me and guide me.

⁴You will pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength.

⁵Into Your hand I entrust my spirit; You have redeemed me, LORD, God of truth.

⁶I hate those who devote themselves to worthless idols, But I trust in the LORD.

⁷I will rejoice and be glad in Your faithfulness, Because You have seen my misery; You have known the troubles of my soul,

⁸And You have not handed me over to the enemy; You have set my feet in a large place.

⁹Be gracious to me, LORD, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body too.

¹⁰For my life is spent with sorrow And my years with sighing; My strength has failed because of my guilt, And my body has wasted away.

¹¹Because of all my adversaries, I have become a disgrace, Especially to my neighbors, And an object of dread to my acquaintances; Those who see me in the street flee from me.

¹²I am forgotten like a dead person, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.

¹³For I have heard the slander of many, Terror is on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They schemed to take away my life.

¹⁴But as for me, I trust in You, LORD, I say, “You are my God.”

¹⁵My times are in Your hand; Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.

¹⁶Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me in Your faithfulness.

¹⁷Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

¹⁸Let the lying lips be speechless, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt.

¹⁹How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have performed for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of mankind!

²⁰You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of mankind; You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues.

²¹Blessed be the LORD, For He has shown His marvelous faithfulness to me in a besieged city.

²²As for me, I said in my alarm, “I am cut off from Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the sound of my pleadings When I called to You for help.

²³Love the LORD, all His godly ones! The LORD watches over the faithful But fully repays the one who acts arrogantly.

²⁴Be strong and let your heart take courage, All you who wait for the LORD.

¹How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven, Whose sin is covered!

²How blessed is a person whose guilt the LORD does not take into account, And in whose spirit there is no deceit!

³When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long.

⁴For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality failed as with the dry heat of summer. Selah

⁵I acknowledged my sin to You, And I did not hide my guilt; I said, “I will confess my wrongdoings to the LORD”; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

⁶Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found; Certainly in a flood of great waters, they will not reach him.

⁷You are my hiding place; You keep me from trouble; You surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

⁸I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will advise you with My eye upon you.

⁹Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.

¹⁰The sorrows of the wicked are many, But the one who trusts in the LORD, goodness will surround him.

¹¹Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.
