Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 29)

Latin text

1  Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.

2  Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.

3  Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.

4  Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam ; salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum.

5  Psallite Domino, sancti ejus ; et confitemini memoriæ sanctitatis ejus.

6  Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus : ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum lætitia.

7  Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea : Non movebor in æternum.

8  Domine, in voluntate tua præstitisti decori meo virtutem ; avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.

9  Ad te, Domine, clamabo, et ad Deum meum deprecabor.

10  Quæ utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem ? numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annuntiabit veritatem tuam ?

11  Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei ; Dominus factus est adjutor meus.

12  Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi ; conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me lætitia :

13  ut cantet tibi gloria mea, et non compungar. Domine Deus meus, in æternum confitebor tibi.

English text

1  I will magnify thee, O Lord, for thou hast set me up : and not made my foes to triumph over me.

2  O Lord my God, I cried unto thee : and thou hast healed me.

3  Thou, Lord, hast brought my soul out of hell : thou hast kept my life from them that go down to the pit.

4  Sing praises unto the Lord, O ye saints of his : and give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness.

5  For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life : heaviness may endure for a night, {{Verse|but joy cometh in the morning.

6  And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be removed : thou, Lord, of thy goodness hast made my hill so strong.

7  Thou didst turn thy face from me : and I was troubled.

8  Then cried I unto thee, O Lord : and gat me to my Lord right humbly.

9  What profit is there in my blood : when I go down to the pit?

10  Shall the dust give thanks unto thee : or shall it declare thy truth?

11  Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me : Lord, be thou my helper.

12  Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy : thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.

13  Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing : O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
