Psalms 29

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

Psalmus David, in consummatione tabernaculi. [Afferte Domino, filii Dei, afferte Domino filios arietum.

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

Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem; afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus; adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus.

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

Vox Domini super aquas; Deus majestatis intonuit: Dominus super aquas multas.

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

Vox Domini in virtute; vox Domini in magnificentia.

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

Vox Domini confringentis cedros, et confringet Dominus cedros Libani:

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

et comminuet eas, tamquam vitulum Libani, et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium.

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

Vox Domini intercidentis flammam ignis;

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

vox Domini concutientis desertum: et commovebit Dominus desertum Cades.

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!”

Vox Domini præparantis cervos: et revelabit condensa, et in templo ejus omnes dicent gloriam.

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

Dominus diluvium inhabitare facit, et sedebit Dominus rex in æternum.

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

Dominus virtutem populo suo dabit; Dominus benedicet populo suo in pace.]
