Psalms 29

1 A Psalm of David [on the occasion] of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, ye sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honour.

A PSALM OF DAVID. Ascribe to YHWH, you sons of the mighty, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

2 Bring to the Lord glory, [due] to his name; worship the lord in his holy court.

Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the beauty of holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory has thundered: the Lord is upon many waters.

The voice of YHWH [is] on the waters, The God of glory has thundered, YHWH [is] on many waters.

4 The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of YHWH [is] with power, The voice of YHWH [is] with majesty,

5 [There is] the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus.

The voice of YHWH [is] shattering cedars, Indeed, YHWH shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6 And he will beat them small, [even] Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn.

And He causes them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

7 [There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.

The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

8 A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.

The voice of YHWH pains a wilderness, YHWH pains the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the Lord strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks [of his] glory.

The voice of YHWH pains the oaks, And makes bare the forests, And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

10 The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.

YHWH has sat on the flood, And YHWH sits [as] king for all time,

11 The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

YHWH gives strength to His people, YHWH blesses His people with peace!
