Psalms 29

1 A psalm of David. Honor the Lord, children of God, honor his glory and strength.

Give to the LORD, O you mighty, give to the LORD glory and strength.

2 Honor the Lord for his glorious character, bow in reverence to the Lord in his brilliant holiness.

Give to the LORD the glory due to his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

3 The Lord's voice sounds over the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the vast ocean.

The voice of the LORD is on the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is on many waters.

4 The Lord's voice is powerful; the Lord's voice is majestic;

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

5 the Lord's voice shatters the cedars, even breaking the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes the mountains of Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

7 The Lord's voice blazes out like lightning flashes.

The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

8 The Lord's voice causes an earthquake in the desert; the desert of Kadesh shakes.

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The Lord's voice makes the pregnant deer go into labor; it strips bare the forests. In his Temple all the worshipers shout, “Glory!”

The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and discovers the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory.

10 The Lord sits on his throne above the floodwaters; the Lord is the eternal King.

The LORD sits on the flood; yes, the LORD sits King for ever.

11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses them with peace.

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