1
(29-1) <A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house.> (29-2) I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.
2

3 You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit.
3

5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
5

6 When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”

9 “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
9

10 Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help.”
10
(29-11) The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.
11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
11
(29-12) Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
12
(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.
