Psalms 29

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

A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

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

Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, 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 Jehovah [is] on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah [is] on many waters.

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

The voice of Jehovah [is] with power, The voice of Jehovah [is] with majesty,

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

The voice of Jehovah [is] shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.

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

And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

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

The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,

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

The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth 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 Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, 'Glory.'

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

Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king — to the age,

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

Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!
