Psalm 29 — The Holy Bible

For the End; the psalm of an ode at the consecration of the house; by David.

I will exalt You, O Lord, for You lifted me up,

And did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

O Lord my God, I cry to You, and You will heal me.

O Lord, You brought my soul out of Hades;

You saved me from those who go down to the pit.

Sing praises to the Lord, you saints of His,

And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness;

For there is wrath in His anger,

But life in His will;

Weeping will lodge at evening,

But great joy in the morning.

As for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I shall not be shaken forever.”

O Lord, in Your will, grant beauty and power;

You turned away Your face, and I was troubled.

I shall cry to You, O Lord,

And to God I shall make supplication.

What profit is there in my blood,

When I go down into decay?

Will the dust confess You?

Or will it declare Your truth?

The Lord heard, and had mercy on me;

The Lord became my helper.

You turned my lamentation into dancing for me;

You tore up my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

That my glory may sing praise to You,

And not be pierced with sadness;

O Lord my God, I shall give thanks to You forever.
