Psalms 29

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 A Canticle Psalm. In dedication to the house of David.	1 A psalm of David. Give to the LORD, you heavenly beings, give to the LORD glory and might;
2 I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me.	2 Give to the LORD the glory due God's name. Bow down before the LORD'S holy splendor!
3 O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me.	3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over the mighty 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 power; the voice of the LORD is splendor.
5 Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness.	5 The voice of the LORD cracks the cedars; the LORD splinters the cedars of Lebanon,
6 For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness.	6 Makes Lebanon leap like a calf, and Sirion like a young bull.
7 But I have said in my abundance: “I will never be disturbed.”	7 The voice of the LORD strikes with fiery flame;
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 rocks the desert; the LORD rocks the desert of Kadesh.
9 To you, Lord, I will cry out. And I will make supplication to my God.	9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. All in his palace say, "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 sits enthroned above the flood! The LORD reigns as king forever!
11 The Lord has heard, and he has been merciful to me. The Lord has become my helper.	11 May the LORD give might to his people; may the LORD bless his people with peace!
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.
