Psalms 29

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

A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye sons of the mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

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

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto 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 upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, even the LORD upon 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 breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

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

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

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

The voice of the LORD cleaveth 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 shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh 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 maketh the hinds to calve, and strippeth the forests bare: and in his temple every thing saith, Glory.

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

The LORD sat [as king] at the Flood; yea, the LORD sitteth as king for ever.

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

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