Unto thee, Jehovah, do I call; my rock, be not silent unto me, lest, if thou keep silence toward me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward the oracle of thy holiness. Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbours, and mischief is in their heart. Give them according to their doing, and according to the wickedness of their deeds; give them after the work of their hands, render to them their desert. For they regard not the deeds of Jehovah, nor the work of his hands: he will destroy them, and not build them up.

⁶Blessed be Jehovah, for he hath heard the voice of my supplications. ⁷Jehovah is my strength and my shield; my heart confided in him, and I was helped: therefore my heart exulteth, and with my song will I praise him. ⁸Jehovah is their strength; and he is the stronghold of salvation to his anointed one. ⁹Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance; and feed them, and lift them up for ever.

Psalm 29

A Psalm of David.

Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength; Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour. The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the •God of glory thundereth, —Jehovah upon great waters. The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty. The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon: And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo. The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire. The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory! Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever. Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
