Context of 2 Chronicles 29:28

26The Levites stood with David’s instruments, and the priests had the trumpets. 27Then Hezekiah ordered the sacrificing of burnt offerings on the altar. When the burnt offerings started, the songs to the Lord started. These songs were accompanied by trumpets and the instruments of King David of Israel. The whole assembly bowed down with their faces touching the ground, singers began to sing, and the trumpets blew until the burnt offering was finished. 29When the burnt offerings were finished, the king and everyone who was with him kneeled and bowed down. 30Then King Hezekiah and the leaders told the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David and the seer Asaph. They joyfully sang praises, bowed down, and worshiped.

Sorrow for sin must not prevent us from praising…Read the comment
