Psalms 29

1A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house.

1 Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

1Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

2I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

2 Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.

2Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array.

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

3 The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: theGod of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters.

3The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters.

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

4 The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

4The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

5Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

5 The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:

5The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

6 And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.

6He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

7And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

7 The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.

7The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.

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

8 The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

8The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

9 The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!

9The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.

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

10 Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.

10Jehovah satas Kingat the Flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.

11The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

11 Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

11Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

12Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

13To 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.
