Psalms 29

1 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 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.

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

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

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

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

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

9 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.

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

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

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

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

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