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.” Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.

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

Ascribe unto the Lord the glory of his name; bow down to the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

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 thundereth, the Lord—upon mighty waters.

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

The voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with power; the voice of the Lord [resoundeth] with majesty.

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

The voice of the Lord breaketh in pieces the cedars; yea, the Lord shivereth the cedars of Lebanon;

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

And he maketh them skip like a calf; Lebanon and Siryon like young reems.

7 The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

The voice of the Lord heweth out flames of fire.

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

The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

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 causeth the hinds to start, and maketh bare forests: and in his temple every thing speaketh [of his] glory.

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

The Lord sat [enthroned] at the flood: and the Lord will sit as King for ever.

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

The Lord will give strength unto his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
