1 I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

29:1 Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.

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

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

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

3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

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

4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

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

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

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

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

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

7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

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

8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.

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

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

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

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

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

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

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

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

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