PSALM 29
Exaltabo te, Domine. David praiseth God for his deliverance, and his merciful dealings with him.
A
psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house.
2
I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
3
O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.
4
Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.
5
Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.
6
For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.
7
And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.
8
O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.
9
To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.
10
What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?
11
The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.
12
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
13
To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
