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 [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 honour.

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

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

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 upon the waters: the God of glory has thundered: the Lord is upon many waters.

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

The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

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

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

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

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

7 The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a 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 bless his people with peace.
