  3. 3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
  4. 4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

  11. 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
  12. 12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
