Psalms 29

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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.	1 A Canticle Psalm. In dedication to the house of David.
2 Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.	2 I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.	3 O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me.
4 The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.	4 Lord, you led my soul away from Hell. You have saved me from those who descend into the pit.
5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.	5 Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness.
6 And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.	6 For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness.
7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:	7 But I have said in my abundance: “I will never be disturbed.”
8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.	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 The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.	9 To you, Lord, I will cry out. And I will make supplication to my God.
10 The Lord maketh the hood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever. The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.	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.
