Psalms 29

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

A psalm of David. Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and power

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

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bow to the Lord in holy array.

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

The Lord’s voice peals on the waters. The God of glory has thundered. He peals o’er the mighty waters.

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

The Lord’s voice sounds with strength, the Lord’s voice sounds with majesty.

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

The Lord’s voice breaks the cedars, he breaks the cedars of Lebanon,

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

making Lebanon dance like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of Yhwh divideth the flames of fire.

The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

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

The Lord’s voice rends the desert, he rends the desert 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.

The Lord’s voice whirls the oaks, and strips the forests bare; and all in his temple say ‘Glory.’

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

The Lord was king at the flood, the Lord sits throned forever.

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

The Lord gives strength to his people, he blesses his people with peace.
