Day VI : Morning Prayer

30 - Exaltabo te, Domine

1   I will magnify you, O Lord, for you have lifted me up, 🞙
    and have not let my foes triumph over me. 

2   O Lord my God, I cried unto you, 🞙
    and you have made me whole. 

3   You, Lord, have brought my soul out of the Grave; 🞙
    you have saved my life from among those who go down to the Pit. 

4   Sing praises unto the Lord, O you saints of his, 🞙
    and give thanks unto him for the remembrance of his holiness. 

5   For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an eye, his pleasure for a lifetime; 🞙
    heaviness may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. 

6   In my prosperity I said, “I shall never be moved; 🞙
    you, Lord, of your goodness, have made my hill so strong.” 

7   You turned your face from me, 🞙
    and I was distressed. 

8   Then I cried unto you, O Lord, 🞙
    and came to my Lord most humbly. 

9   What profit is there in my bloodshed, 🞙
    if I go down into the Pit? 

10  Shall the dust give thanks unto you? 🞙
    Or shall it declare your faithfulness? 

11  Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me. 🞙
    O Lord, be my helper.

12  You have turned my lamentation into dancing; 🞙
    you have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness. 

13  Therefore shall my heart sing of your praise without ceasing. 🞙
    O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto you for ever.
