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 eius: adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius.

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 maiestatis 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 eius 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.
