And over me thou to rejoyce
mad'st not mine enemie.
O thou who art the Lord my God,Line 2
I in distresse to thee
With loud crys lifted up my voice,
and thou hast healed me.
O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,Line 3
and rescu'd from the grave:
That I to pit should not go down,
alive thou didst me save.
O ye that are his holy ones,Line 4
sing praise unto the Lord:
And give unto him thanks, when you
his holinesse record.
For, but a moment lasts his wrath;Line 5
life in his favour lyes:
Weeping may for a night endure,
at morn doth joy arise.
In my prosperitie, I said,Line 6
that nothing shall me move.
O Lord, thou hast my mountain madeLine 7
to stand strong by thy love:
But when that thou, O gracious God,
didst hide thy face from me,
Then quickly was my prosperous state,
turn'd into miserie.
Wherefore unto the Lord, my cryLine 8
I caused to ascend:
My humble supplication,
I to the Lord did send.
What profit is there in my bloud,Line 9
Page 52
when I go down to pit?
Shall unto thee the dust give praise?
thy truth declare shall it?
Hear, Lord, have mercy, help me, Lord.Line 10
From me thou turn'd my sadnesse,Line 11
To dancing: yea, my sackcloth loos'd,
and girded me with gladnesse.
That sing thy praise my glory may,Line 12
and never silent be:
O Lord my God, for evermore
I will give thanks to thee.
