Greek Psalm 29

Weeping May Lodge for the Evening; Joy Comes in the Morning

29:1For the end. A psalm of a song for the dedication of the house. Of David.

29:2I will exalt You, Lord, for You took me up

and did not gladden my enemies over me.

29:3Lord my God, I cried out to You,

and You healed me.

29:4Lord, You brought my soul up from Hades;

You saved me from those descending into a pit.

29:5Sing praise to the Lord, His holy ones,

and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

29:6because anger is in His wrath,

and life in His will;

weeping will lodge in the evening,

and exultation comes toward morning.

29:7But I said in my prosperity,

“I will certainly never be shaken.”

29:8Lord, in Your will You supplied strength to my beauty;

but You turned Your face away, and I became troubled.

29:9To You, Lord, I will cry,

and to my God I will petition:

29:10“What benefit is there in my blood,

in my descending into corruption?

Will dust give thanks to You,

or announce Your truth?”

29:11The Lord heard and had mercy on me;

the Lord became my helper.

29:12You turned my lament into dancing for me;

You tore open my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,

29:13so that my glory may sing praise to You,

and I may certainly not be pierced with grief.

Lord my God, I will thank You forever.
