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 to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and power

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

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

3 The voice of YHWH [is] on the waters, The God of glory has thundered, YHWH [is] on 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 YHWH [is] with power, The voice of YHWH [is] with majesty,

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

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

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

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

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

7 The voice of YHWH is hewing fiery flames,

The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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