Psalms 29

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

“A psalm of David.” Give to Jehovah, O ye sons of God! Give to Jehovah glory and praise!

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

Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Worship Jehovah in holy attire!

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

The voice of Jehovah is heard above the waters; The God of glory thundereth, -Jehovah above the great waters.

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

The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty;

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

The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon;

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

Yea, he maketh them to leap like a calf, —Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.

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

The voice of Jehovah divideth the flames of fire.

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

The voice of Jehovah maketh the wilderness tremble; Yea, Jehovah maketh the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.

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 Jehovah maketh the hinds bring forth, And layeth bare the forests; While, in his palace, every one declareth his glory.

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

Jehovah sitteth above the flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth king for ever.

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

Jehovah will give strength to his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
