I will exalt you Lord
For you lifted me out of the depths
You didn't let me go
Didn't let my foes
Gloat over me
When I called on you for help
You restored my health
And you healed me
You raised me from the grave
And in your kindness saved me from Sheol
So now sing you saints
And praise his holy name
For his anger lasts but a moment
But his favour is for life
And rejoicing comes in the morning
Though there's weeping through the night
All my mourning's turned into dancing
And my sackcloth into joy
And you have clothed me with joy
When I felt so secure
Just like a mountain, sure
That I'd stand strong.
Then you hid your face away
Then I was dismayed
And cried out to you
And I cried Lord,
Where then is the gain
In my going to the grave
Down to Sheol
And how will this dust yet praise
How will it proclaim your faithfulness?
So be merciful oh Lord
And hear my plea
