Psalms 29

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

Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.

εἰς τὸ τέλος ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς τοῦ ἐγκαινισμοῦ τοῦ οἴκου τῷ Δαυιδ

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

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

ὑψώσω σε κύριε ὅτι ὑπέλαβές με καὶ οὐκ ηὔφρανας τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου ἐπ' ἐμέ

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

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

κύριε ὁ θεός μου ἐκέκραξα πρὸς σέ καὶ ἰάσω με

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

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

κύριε ἀνήγαγες ἐξ ᾅδου τὴν ψυχήν μου ἔσωσάς με ἀπὸ τῶν καταβαινόντων εἰς λάκκον

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

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

ψάλατε τῷ κυρίῳ οἱ ὅσιοι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῇ μνήμῃ τῆς ἁγιωσύνης αὐτοῦ

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

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

ὅτι ὀργὴ ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτοῦ καὶ ζωὴ ἐν τῷ θελήματι αὐτοῦ τὸ ἑσπέρας αὐλισθήσεται κλαυθμὸς καὶ εἰς τὸ πρωὶ ἀγαλλίασις

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

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

ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπα ἐν τῇ εὐθηνίᾳ μου οὐ μὴ σαλευθῶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

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

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

κύριε ἐν τῷ θελήματί σου παρέσχου τῷ κάλλει μου δύναμιν ἀπέστρεψας δὲ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ ἐγενήθην τεταραγμένος

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

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

πρὸς σέ κύριε κεκράξομαι καὶ πρὸς τὸν θεόν μου δεηθήσομαι

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

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

τίς ὠφέλεια ἐν τῷ αἵματί μου ἐν τῷ καταβῆναί με εἰς διαφθοράν μὴ ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι χοῦς ἢ ἀναγγελεῖ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου

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

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

ἤκουσεν κύριος καὶ ἠλέησέν με κύριος ἐγενήθη βοηθός μου

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

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

ἔστρεψας τὸν κοπετόν μου εἰς χορὸν ἐμοί διέρρηξας τὸν σάκκον μου καὶ περιέζωσάς με εὐφροσύνην

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.

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

ὅπως ἂν ψάλῃ σοι ἡ δόξα μου καὶ οὐ μὴ κατανυγῶ κύριε ὁ θεός μου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι
