1I lifted up my arms on high because of the compassion of the Lord.
2For he cast away from me my bonds, and my Helper lifted me up according to his compassion and his salvation.
3And I put off darkness, and put on light.
4And even I myself acquired members. In them there was no sickness or affliction or suffering.
5And abundantly useful to me was the thought of the Lord, and his incorruptible fellowship.
6And I was lifted up in the light, and passed before him.
7And I was constantly near him, while praising and confessing him.
8He made my heart overflow, and it was found in my mouth; and it sprang forth upon my lips.
9Then upon my face increased the exultation of the Lord and his praise. Hallelujah.
