Psalm 29

¹ For the end, a Psalm ^[1]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.
