Psalms
Chapter 29
- 1
A Canticle Psalm. In dedication to the house of David.
- 2
I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me.
- 3
O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me.
- 4
Lord, you led my soul away from Hell. You have saved me from those who descend into the pit.
- 5
Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness.
- 6
For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness.
- 7
But I have said in my abundance: “I will never be disturbed.”
- 8
O Lord, in your will, you made virtue preferable to beauty for me. You turned your face away from me, and I became disturbed.
- 9
To you, Lord, I will cry out. And I will make supplication to my God.
- 10
What use would there be in my blood, if I descend into corruption? Will dust confess to you or announce your truth?
- 11
The Lord has heard, and he has been merciful to me. The Lord has become my helper.
- 12
You have turned my mourning into gladness for me. You have cut off my sackcloth, and you have surrounded me with joy.
- 13
So then, may my glory sing to you, and may I not regret it. O Lord, my God, I will confess to you for eternity.
