Psalms 29

1 A Psalm by David. Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

“A psalm of David.” Give to Jehovah, O ye sons of God! Give to Jehovah glory and praise!

2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Worship the LORD in holy array.

Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Worship Jehovah in holy attire!

3 The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.

The voice of Jehovah is heard above the waters; The God of glory thundereth, -Jehovah above the great waters.

4 The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.

The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty;

5 The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon;

6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

Yea, he maketh them to leap like a calf, —Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.

7 The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

The voice of Jehovah divideth the flames of fire.

8 The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of Jehovah maketh the wilderness tremble; Yea, Jehovah maketh the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.

9 The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds bring forth, And layeth bare the forests; While, in his palace, every one declareth his glory.

10 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.

Jehovah sitteth above the flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth king for ever.

11 The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.

Jehovah will give strength to his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
