Psalms 29

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. Ascribe to YHWH, you sons of the mighty, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

A Psalm. Of David. Give to the Lord, you sons of the gods, give to the Lord glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the beauty of holiness.

Give to the Lord the full glory of his name; give him worship in holy robes.

3 The voice of YHWH [is] on the waters, The God of glory has thundered, YHWH [is] on many waters.

The voice of the Lord is on the waters: the God of glory is thundering, the Lord is on the great waters.

4 The voice of YHWH [is] with power, The voice of YHWH [is] with majesty,

The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound.

5 The voice of YHWH [is] shattering cedars, Indeed, YHWH shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

By the voice of the Lord are the cedar-trees broken, even the cedars of Lebanon are broken by the Lord.

6 And He causes them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

He makes them go jumping about like a young ox; Lebanon and Sirion like a young mountain ox.

7 The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

At the voice of the Lord flames of fire are seen.

8 The voice of YHWH pains a wilderness, YHWH pains the wilderness of Kadesh.

At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land of Kadesh.

9 The voice of YHWH pains the oaks, And makes bare the forests, And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

At the voice of the Lord the roes give birth, the leaves are taken from the trees: in his Temple everything says, Glory.

10 YHWH has sat on the flood, And YHWH sits [as] king for all time,

The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.

11 YHWH gives strength to His people, YHWH blesses His people with peace!

The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people the blessing of peace.
