Psalms 29

1 A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye 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 thundereth: 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 breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

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

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

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 divideth the flames of fire.

Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.

8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh 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 maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth 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 sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth 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.
