Chapter 29

King David by voice and instrument rendereth thanks to God for his peaceable state in the Kingdom, 5. inviteth others to rejoice in God's benefits, teaching by his own example that God sometimes giveth more comfort, sometimes sheweth his wrath, but all for our good.

1. 1

   A Psalm of Canticle, in the dedication of David's house.

2. 2

   I will exalt thee, o Lord because thou hast received me: neither hast delighted mine enemies over me.

3. 3

   O Lord my God I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.

4. 4

   Lord thou hast brought forth my soul out of hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the lake.

5. 5

   Sing to our Lord ye his Saints: and confess to the memory of his holiness.

6. 6

   Because wrath is in his indignation: and life in his will. At evening shall weeping abide: and in the morning gladness.

7. 7

   And I said in my aboundance: I will not be moved for ever.

8. 8

   O Lord in thy will thou hast given strength to my beauty. Thou hast turned away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

9. 9

   To thee o Lord I will cry: and I will pray to my God.

10. 10

    What profit is in my blood, whilst I descend into corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

11. 11

    Our Lord hath heard, and had mercy on me: our Lord is become my helper.

12. 12

    Thou hast turned my mourning into joy unto me: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness.

13. 13

    That my glory may sing to thee, and I be not compunct: Lord my God for ever will I confess to thee.
