Psalms 29; Psalms 30

1 (28-1) <A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle.> Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.

2 (28-2) Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.

3 (28-3) The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.

4 (28-4) The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.

5 (28-5) The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.

6 (28-6) And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.

7 (28-7) The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:

8 (28-8) The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.

9 (28-9) The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.

10 (28-10) The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.

11 (28-10) The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.

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 (29-3) O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.

3 (29-4) Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.

4 (29-5) Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

5 (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.

6 (29-7) And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

7 (29-8) O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

8 (29-9) To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

9 (29-10) What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

10 (29-11) The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

11 (29-12) Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

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.
