Psalms 29

1 Give unto the LORD, O all of you mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.

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

Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].

3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.

Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans; Yahweh, the glorious God, thunders. His voice thunders over the huge oceans [DOU].

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

His voice is powerful and majestic.

5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yea, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.

6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn (ox).

He causes [the mountains in] Lebanon to jump like calves jump, and causes Hermon [Mountain] to jump like a young bull jumps.

7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.

8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].

9 The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and discovers the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory.

Yahweh’s voice shakes the huge oak trees and strips the leaves from the trees while the people in the temple shout, “Praise [God]!”

10 The LORD sits upon the flood; yea, the LORD sits King for ever.

Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.

11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.
