The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 29  

29:1 A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house.
Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.

29:2 I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.

29:3 O Lord, my God, I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.
Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.

29:4 Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.
Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam; salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum.

29:5 Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.
Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriæ sanctitatis ejus.

29:6 For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening, weeping shall have place, and in the morning, gladness.
Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus: ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum lætitia.

29:7 And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.
Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.

29:8 O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.
Domine, in voluntate tua præstitisti decori meo virtutem; avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.

29:9 To thee, O Lord, will I cry; and I will make supplication to my God.
Ad te, Domine, clamabo, et ad Deum meum deprecabor.

29:10 What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?
Quæ utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annuntiabit veritatem tuam?

29:11 The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.
Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei; Dominus factus est adjutor meus.

29:12 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi; conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me lætitia:

29:13 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.
ut cantet tibi gloria mea, et non compungar. Domine Deus meus, in æternum confitebor tibi.
