Psalms 29

1 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

A Psalm of David, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams.

2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.

Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore the Lord in his holy court.

3 The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters.

The voice of the Lord is over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters.

4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

The voice of the Lord is in virtue. The voice of the Lord is in magnificence.

5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars. And the Lord will shatter the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

And it will break them into pieces, like a calf of Lebanon, and in the same way as the beloved son of the single-horned beast.

7 The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

The voice of the Lord cuts through the flame of fire.

8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. And the Lord will quake the desert of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

The voice of the Lord is preparing the stags, and he will reveal the dense woods. And in his temple, all will speak his glory.

10 The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

The Lord causes the great flood to dwell. And the Lord will sit as King in eternity.

11 The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.

The Lord will give virtue to his people. The Lord will bless his people in peace.
