Psalms 29

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

Ein Psalm Davids. / Bringet Jahwe, ihr Gottessöhne, / Bringet Jahwe Ehre und Preis!

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

Bringt Jahwe seines Namens Ehre! / Huldigt Jahwe in heiligem Schmuck!

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

Jahwes Stimme schallt über den Wassern: / Der Gott der Ehre donnert, / Jahwe thront über mächtigen Wassern.

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

Jahwes Stimme erschallt mit Macht, / Jahwes Stimme erschallt mit Pracht.

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

Jahwes Stimme zerschmettert Zedern, / Jahwe zerschmettert des Libanons Zedern.

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

Er läßt hüpfen wie Kälber, / Libanon und Sirjon wie junge Büffel.

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

Jahwes Stimme sprüht Feuerflammen.

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

Jahwes Stimme läßt beben die Wüste, / Beben läßt Jahwe die Wüste von Kades.

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

Jahwes Stimme läßt Hinden gebären, / Entblättert die Wälder. / In seinem Tempel ruft alles: "Ehre!"

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

Jahwe thronte einst über der Sintflut, / Jahwe wird thronen als König auf ewig.

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

Jahwe verleiht seinem Volke Macht, / Jahwe segnet sein Volk mit Frieden!
