As for me, I said in my (A)prosperity,
    “I shall never be (B)moved.”
By your favor, O Lord,
    you made my (C)mountain stand strong;
you (D)hid your face;
    I was (E)dismayed.

To you, O Lord, I cry,
    and (F)to the Lord I plead for mercy:
“What profit is there in my death,[a]
    if I go down to the pit?[b]
Will (G)the dust praise you?
    Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 (H)Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
    O Lord, be my helper!”
