Psalms 29

1 A Psalm. Of David. Give to the Lord, you sons of the gods, give to the Lord glory and strength.

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

2 Give to the Lord the full glory of his name; give him worship in holy robes.

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

3 The voice of the Lord is on the waters: the God of glory is thundering, the Lord is on the great waters.

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

4 The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound.

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

5 By the voice of the Lord are the cedar-trees broken, even the cedars of Lebanon are broken by the Lord.

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

6 He makes them go jumping about like a young ox; Lebanon and Sirion like a young mountain ox.

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

7 At the voice of the Lord flames of fire are seen.

The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

8 At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land of Kadesh.

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

9 At the voice of the Lord the roes give birth, the leaves are taken from the trees: in his Temple everything says, Glory.

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

10 The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.

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

11 The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people the blessing of peace.

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