Psalms 29

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

A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.

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

Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye 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 majesty hath 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 in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.

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

The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.

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

And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.

7 The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:

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

The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert 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 prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.

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

The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit 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.
