Psalms 29

1 Give unto Yhwh, O ye mighty, give unto Yhwh glory and strength.

Ascribe to Adonai, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Adonai kavod ·weighty glory· and strength.

2 Give unto Yhwh the glory due unto his name; worship Yhwh in the beauty of holiness.

Ascribe to Adonai the kavod ·weighty glory· due to his name. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship Adonai in holy array.

3 The voice of Yhwh is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: Yhwh is upon many waters.

Adonai’s voice is on the waters. The God of kavod ·weighty glory· thunders, even Adonai on many waters.

4 The voice of Yhwh is powerful; the voice of Yhwh is full of majesty.

Adonai’s voice is powerful. Adonai’s voice is full of majesty.

5 The voice of Yhwh breaketh the cedars; yea, Yhwh breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

Adonai’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, Adonai breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

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

7 The voice of Yhwh divideth the flames of fire.

Adonai’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 The voice of Yhwh shaketh the wilderness; Yhwh shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

Adonai’s voice shakes the wilderness. Adonai shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Yhwh maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

Adonai’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Kavod ·Weighty glory·!”

10 Yhwh sitteth upon the flood; yea, Yhwh sitteth King for ever.

Adonai sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Adonai sits as King forever.

11 Yhwh will give strength unto his people; Yhwh will bless his people with peace.

Adonai will give strength to his people. Adonai will bless his people with peace.
