You Turned My Mourning into Dancing
A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David.
I will exalt You, O LORD, Psa 25:2Dan 4:37Psa 35:19Psa 27:62Sa 5:11Psa 13:4Deu 20:5Lam 2:15
for You have lifted me up
and have not allowed my foes
to rejoice over me.
O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, 2Ki 20:5Psa 103:3-4Psa 147:3Psa 6:2Exo 15:26Gen 20:17Jas 5:14-15Psa 88:13
and You healed me.
O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; Psa 16:10Psa 86:13Isa 38:17-18Jon 2:4-6Psa 28:1Psa 40:1-2Psa 71:20Job 33:19-22
You spared me from descending into the Pit.
Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, Psa 97:121Ch 16:4Psa 132:9Psa 148:14Rev 4:8Exo 15:11Isa 6:3Psa 103:20-22
and praise His holy name. 1
For His anger is fleeting, Isa 54:7-82Co 4:17Psa 126:5-6Mat 5:4Jhn 16:20-22Isa 26:20Psa 103:9Psa 16:11
but His favor lasts a lifetime.
Weeping may stay the night,
but joy comes in the morning.
In prosperity I said, 2Co 12:7Luk 12:19Psa 119:117Dan 4:30Psa 16:8Isa 47:7Isa 56:12Job 29:18-20
“I will never be shaken.”
O LORD, You favored me; Psa 104:29Psa 143:7Psa 30:51Ch 17:26-27Deu 31:17Isa 38:17Job 10:12Psa 40:2
You made my mountain stand strong.
When You hid Your face,
I was dismayed.
To You, O LORD, I called, Php 4:6-7Psa 34:6Psa 130:1-2Psa 77:1-21Co 12:8-9
and I begged my Lord for mercy:
“What gain is there in my bloodshed, 2 Psa 6:5Isa 38:18Psa 115:17-18Psa 118:17Psa 88:10-12Ecc 9:10
in my descent to the Pit? 3
Will the dust praise You?
Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; Psa 54:4Psa 143:1Psa 143:7-9Psa 28:7Psa 27:7Psa 51:1-2
O LORD, be my helper.”
You turned my mourning into dancing; Jer 31:4Ecc 3:4Jer 31:13-142Ch 20:12Isa 25:8Psa 149:3Psa 150:4Psa 30:5
You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. Psa 145:2Luk 19:40Psa 146:1-2Psa 16:9Psa 44:8Act 4:20Rev 4:8-9Psa 13:6
O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
