Psalms Chapter 29
Exaltabo te, Domine.
David praiseth God for his deliverance, and his merciful dealings with
him.
29:1. A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house.
29:2. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not
made my enemies to rejoice over me.
29:3. O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.
29:4. Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast
saved me from them that go down into the pit.
29:5. Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory
of his holiness.
29:6. For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the
evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.
29:7. And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.
29:8. O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou
turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.
29:9. To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my
God.
29:10. What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption?
Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?
29:11. The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my
helper.
29:12. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my
sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:
29:13. To 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.
Psalms Chapter 30
In te, Domine, speravi.
A prayer of a just man under affliction.
30:1. Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.
30:2. In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver
me in thy justice.
30:3. Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me
a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
30:4. For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name's sake
thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
30:5. Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for
me: for thou art my protector.
30:6. Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord,
the God of truth.
30:7. Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I
have hoped in the Lord:
30:8. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou hast regarded my
humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
30:9. And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast
set my feet in a spacious place.
30:10. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled
with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
30:11. For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My
strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
30:12. I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my
neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled
from me.
30:13. I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a
vessel that is destroyed.
