1 I will magnify thee, O Lord, for thou hast | set me | up ||

and not | made my | foes to | triumph • over me. ||

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

3 Thou, Lord, hast brought my soul out of hell; * thou hast kept my life from | 3 them that go | down • to the | pit. ||

4 Sing praises unto the | Lord, • O ye | saints of • his ||

and give thanks unto him for a re- | membrance | of his | holi•ness. ||

5 For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, * and in his | pleasure • is | life; ||

heaviness may endure for a night, but | joy | cometh • in the | morning. ||

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall | never • be re- | moved ||

thou, Lord, of thy goodness hast | made my | hill so | strong. ||

7 Thou didst turn thy face from me, 3 and | I was | troubled. ||

8 Then cried I unto thee, O Lord, and | gat me • to my | Lord right | humbly. ||

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go | down • to the | pit? ||

10 Shall the dust give thanks unto thee? * or 3 shall | it de- | clare thy | truth? ||

Or, 11 Hear, O | Lord, • and have | mercy up•on me; ||

3 Lord, | — be | thou my | helper. ||

§ 11 Hear, O | Lord, • and have | mer•cy up- ||

on me; | Lord, be | thou my | helper. ||

12 Thou hast turned my | heaviness • into | joy ||

thou hast put off my | 3 sackcloth, and | girded • me with | gladness. ||

13 Therefore shall every good man sing of thy | praise with•out | ceasing ||

O my God, I will give | thanks • unto | thee for | ever. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
