Psalms 29

1 A Psalm of David. Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

“A psalm of David.” Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.

2 Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.

Ascribe unto the Lord the glory of his name; bow down to the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

3 The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters.

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thundereth, the Lord—upon mighty waters.

4 The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with power; the voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with majesty.

5 The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:

The voice of the Lord breaketh in pieces the cedars; yea, the Lord shivereth the cedars of Lebanon;

6 And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.

And he maketh them skip like a calf; Lebanon and Siryon like young reems.

7 The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.

The voice of the Lord heweth out flames of fire.

8 The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!

The voice of the Lord causeth the hinds to start, and maketh bare forests: and in his temple every thing speaketh [of his] glory.

10 Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.

The Lord sat [enthroned] at the flood: and the Lord will sit as King for ever.

11 Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.

The Lord will give strength unto his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
