028:005 Because they don't regard the works of Yahweh, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up. 028:006 Blessed be Yahweh, because he has heard the voice of my petitions. 028:007 Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him. 028:008 Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed. 028:009 Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever. 029:001 <<A Psalm by David.>> Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength. 029:002 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Worship Yahweh in holy array. 029:003 Yahweh's voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters. 029:004 Yahweh's voice is powerful. Yahweh's voice is full of majesty. 029:005 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 029:006 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox. 029:007 Yahweh's voice strikes with flashes of lightning. 029:008 Yahweh's voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. 029:009 Yahweh's voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, "Glory!" 029:010 Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever. 029:011 Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace. 030:001 <<A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.>> I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me. 030:002 Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me. 030:003 Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 030:004 Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name. 030:005 For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning. 030:006 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved." 030:007 You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled. 030:008 I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication: 030:009 "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth? 030:010 Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper." 030:011 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness, 030:012 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
