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. Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and power

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

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bow to the Lord in holy array.

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

The Lord’s voice peals on the waters. The God of glory has thundered. He peals o’er the mighty waters.

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

The Lord’s voice sounds with strength, the Lord’s voice sounds with majesty.

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

The Lord’s voice breaks the cedars, he breaks the cedars of Lebanon,

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.

making Lebanon dance like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.

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

The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

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

The Lord’s voice rends the desert, he rends the desert 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.

The Lord’s voice whirls the oaks, and strips the forests bare; and all in his temple say ‘Glory.’

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

The Lord was king at the flood, the Lord sits throned forever.

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

The Lord gives strength to his people, he blesses his people with peace.
