Psalms 29

¹A Canticle Psalm. In dedication to the house of David

²I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me

³O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me

⁴Lord, you led my soul away from Hell. You have saved me from those who descend into the pit

⁵Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness

⁶For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness

⁷But I have said in my abundance: “I will never be disturbed.

⁸O Lord, in your will, you made virtue preferable to beauty for me. You turned your face away from me, and I became disturbed

⁹To you, Lord, I will cry out. And I will make supplication to my God

¹⁰What use would there be in my blood, if I descend into corruption? Will dust confess to you or announce your truth

¹¹The Lord has heard, and he has been merciful to me. The Lord has become my helper

¹²You have turned my mourning into gladness for me. You have cut off my sackcloth, and you have surrounded me with joy

¹³So then, may my glory sing to you, and may I not regret it. O Lord, my God, I will confess to you for eternity
