Psalms 29
1 For the end, a Psalm
aGr. of a song.and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
2 I will exalt thee, O Lord; for thou
hast lifted me up, and not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me.
3 O Lord my God, I cried to thee, and
thou didst heal me. 4 O Lord, thou
hast brought up my soul from Hades, thou hast delivered me from
among them that go down to the pit.
5 Sing to the Lord, ye his saints, and
give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
6 For anger is in his wrath, but life
in his favour: weeping shall tarry for the evening, but joy shall be in the
morning.
7 And I said in my prosperity, I shall
never be moved. 8 O Lord, in thy good
pleasure thou didst add strength to my beauty: but thou didst turn away thy
face, and I was troubled. 9 To thee, O
Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication.
10 What profit is there in my blood,
when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to thee? or shall it
declare thy truth? 11 The Lord heard,
and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.
12 Thou hast turned my mourning into
joy for me: thou hast rent off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
13 that my glory may sing praise to
thee, and I may not be pierced with sorrow. O Lord my
God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.
