Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti...
Language: Latin 
1  Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David
   Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me,
   nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
2  Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, 
   et sanasti me.
3  Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam; 
   salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum.
4  Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; 
   et confitemini memoriae sanctitatis ejus.
5  Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus: 
   ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum laetitia.
6  Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea:
   Non movebor in aeternum.
7  Domine, in voluntate tua praestitisti decori meo virtutem;
   avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.
8  Ad te, Domine, clamabo, et ad Deum meum deprecabor.
9  Quae utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem?
   numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annuntiabit veritatem tuam?
10 Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei; 
   Dominus factus est adjutor meus.
11 Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi; 
   conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me laetitia:
12 ut cantet tibi gloria mea, et non compungar.
   Domine Deus meus, in aeternum confitebor tibi.

/ I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou...
Language: English  after the Latin 
1  
   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.
