Psalm 29

(30) For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.

1I will exalt you, O Lord; for you have lifted me up, and not caused my enemies to rejoice over me.

2O Lord my God, I cried to you, and you did heal me.

3O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Hades, you have delivered me from amongst them that go down to the pit.

4Sing to the Lord, you⌃ his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.

5For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favour: weeping shall wait for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.

6And I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

7O Lord, in your good pleasure you did add strength to my beauty: but you did turn away your face, and I was troubled.

8To you, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication.

9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to you? or shall it declare your truth?

10The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.

11You have turned my mourning into joy for me: you have torn off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12that my glory may sing praise to you, and I may not be pierced with sorrow. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
