Psalms 29

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

You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.

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

Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].

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

Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans; Yahweh, the glorious God, thunders. His voice thunders over the huge oceans [DOU].

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

His voice is powerful and majestic.

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

The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.

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

He causes [the mountains in] Lebanon to jump like calves jump, and causes Hermon [Mountain] to jump like a young bull jumps.

7 The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.

Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.

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

His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].

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

Yahweh’s voice shakes the huge oak trees and strips the leaves from the trees while the people in the temple shout, “Praise [God]!”

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

Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.

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

Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.
