Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
(A)You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication:
“What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
(B)Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth?
10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper!”

You have put off [a]my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
