Psalm 29 (Septuagint) = Psalm 30 (KJV)
Introduction
This entry meets the strict three-criteria standard of the Theosis Library, with the manuscript text drawn directly from the same source as the scan:
- Manuscript scan: The actual folio of Codex Sinaiticus containing this passage, from the Codex Sinaiticus Project (codexsinaiticus.org). Library folio reference: 94.
- Original text: The verbatim transcription of the Sinaiticus manuscript from the Codex Sinaiticus Project, preserving uncial forms, lunate sigma, nomina sacra (e.g. ⟨θϲ⟩ = θεός), and scribal marks. Nomina sacra are shown in angle brackets to indicate the manuscript's sacred-name abbreviations.
- English translation: The King James Version (1611), retrieved verbatim from the public-domain bible-api.com endpoint.
Numbering: Codex Sinaiticus follows the Septuagint Psalter, in which this is Psalm 29. In the Hebrew and King James numbering the same psalm is Psalm 30. Greek verse numbers follow the Septuagint, which counts the superscription as verse 1; English verse numbers follow the KJV, so they run 1 behind the Greek. The Greek and English in each section are the same words of the same psalm.

1ψαλμοϲ τωδηϲ του εγʼκαινιϲμου του οικου τω δαυειδʼ 2υψωϲω ϲε κε οτι ϋπελαβεϲ με και ουκ ευφραναϲ τουϲ εχθρουϲ μου επ εμοι 3κε ο θϲ μου εκεκραξα προϲ ϲε και ϊαϲω με 4κε ανηγαγεϲ εξ αδου την ψυχην μου εϲωϲαϲ με εκ των καταβαινοντων ειϲ λακκον 5ψαλατε τω κω οι οϲιοι αυτου και εξομολογειϲθε τη μνημη τηϲ αγιωϲυνηϲ αυτου
1I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. 2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 3O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
6οτι οργη εν τω θυμω αυτου και ζωη ε τω θεληματι αυτου το εϲπεραϲ αυλιϲθηϲεται κλαυθμοϲ και ειϲ το πρωϊ αγαλλιαϲιϲ 7εγω δε ειπα εν τη ευθηνια μου ου μη ϲαλευθω ειϲ τον αιωνα 8κε εν τω θεληματι ϲου παραϲχου τω καλλι μου δυναμιν απεϲτρεψαϲ δε το προϲωπον ϲου και εγενηθην τεταραγμενοϲ 9προϲ ϲε κε κεκραξομαι και προϲ τον θν μου δεηθηϲομαι 10τιϲ ωφελεια εν τω αιματι μου εν τω καταβηναι με ειϲ διαφθοραν μη εξομολογηϲεται ϲοι χουϲ η αναγγελει την αληθειαν ϲου
5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. 6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. 7LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. 8I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication. 9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
11ηκουϲεν κϲ και ηλεηϲεν με κϲ εγενηθη βοηθοϲ μου 12εϲτρεψαϲ τον κοπετον μου ειϲ χαραν εμοι διερρηξαϲ τον ϲακκον μου και περιεζωϲαϲ με ευφροϲυνην 13οπωϲ αν ψαλη ϲοι η δοξα μου και ου μη κατανυγω κε ο θϲ μου ειϲ τον αιωνα εξομολογηϲομαι ϲοι
10Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 12To 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.
