I WILL extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

1A Psalme, and song at the dedication of the house of Dauid. I wil extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast lifted me vp; and hast not made my foes to reioyce ouer me.

2O Lord my God, I cried vnto thee, and thou hast healed me.

3O Lord, thou hast brought vp my soule from the graue: thou hast kept me aliue, that I should not goe downe to the pit.

4Sing vnto the Lord, (O yee Saints of his) and giue thanks at the remembrance of his holinesse.

5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his fauour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but ioy commeth in the morning.

6And in my prosperitie I said, I shall neuer be mooued.

7Lord, by thy fauour thou hast made my mountaine to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

8I cried to thee, O Lord: and vnto the Lord I made supplication.

9What profit is there in my blood, when I goe downe to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy trueth?

10Heare, O Lord, and haue mercie vpon me: Lord be thou my helper.

11Thou hast turned for mee my mourning into dauncing: thou hast put off my sackecloth, and girded mee with gladnesse:

12To the end that my glory may sing prayse to thee, and not be silent: O Lord my God, I will giue thankes vnto thee for euer.

1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the Temple. Of David.

2 I praise you, LORD, for you raised me up and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

3 O LORD, my God, I cried out to you for help and you healed* me.

4 LORD, you brought my soul up from Sheol; you let me live, from going down to the pit.

5 Sing praise to the LORD, you faithful; give thanks to his holy memory.

6 For his anger lasts but a moment; his favor a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing.

7 Complacent, I once said, “I shall never be shaken.”

8 LORD, you showed me favor, established for me mountains of virtue.But when you hid your face I was struck with terror.

9 To you, LORD, I cried out; with the Lord I pleaded for mercy:

10 “What gain is there from my lifeblood, from my going down to the grave? Does dust give you thanks or declare your faithfulness?

11 Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper.”

12 You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.

13 So that my glory may praise you and not be silent. O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.

The superscription reads that this is a Psalm of dedication of the house of David, that is, the temple. It is to be sung by all the saints, v 4.  God’s anger is momentary, but His love is permanent. Because of this, God’s actions are contrasted in 7 a, where the Lord strengthened David, with 7 b, This would possibly refer to the time David numbered the people through pride and 70,000 of them died, 1 Chron 21:2 and 8, before God extended His mercy. In that case this would be the dedication which followed that.
