Joy Comes with the Morning

A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.

 

1 I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up

and have not let my foes rejoice over me.

2 O LORD my God, I cried to you for help,

and you have healed me.

3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;

you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.[fn]

   

4 Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints,

and give thanks to his holy name.[fn]

5 For his anger is but for a moment,

and his favor is for a lifetime.[fn]

Weeping may tarry for the night,

but joy comes with the morning.

   

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I shall never be moved.”

7 By your favor, O LORD,

you made my mountain stand strong;

you hid your face;

I was dismayed.

   

8 To you, O LORD, I cry,

and to the Lord I plead for mercy:

9 “What profit is there in my death,[fn]

if I go down to the pit?[fn]

Will the dust praise you?

Will it tell of your faithfulness?

10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me!

O LORD, be my helper!”

   

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness,

12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.

O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
