Psalms 29

1 A Psalm of David [on the occasion] of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, you sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honor.

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

2 Bring to the Lord glory, [due] to his name; worship the lord in his holy court.

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

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory has thundered: the Lord 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 the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

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

5 [There is] the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus.

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

6 And he will beat them small, [even] Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn.

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

7 [There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.

The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

8 A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.

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

9 The voice of the Lord strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks [of his] glory.

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

10 The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.

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

11 The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

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