Psalms 29

Catholic Public Domain Bible	Douai-Rheims
¹ A Canticle Psalm. In dedication to the house of David.	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 I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me.	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 O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me.	³ The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.
⁴ Lord, you led my soul away from Hell. You have saved me from those who descend into the pit.	⁴ The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
⁵ Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness.	⁵ The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
⁶ For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness.	⁶ And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.
⁷ But I have said in my abundance: “I will never be disturbed.”	⁷ The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:
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.	⁸ The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
⁹ To you, Lord, I will cry out. And I will make supplication to my God.	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 What use would there be in my blood, if I descend into corruption? Will dust confess to you or announce your truth?	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.
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.
