Psalms 29

1 [A Psalm by 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 due to his name. Worship YHWH in holy array.

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 thunders, even YHWH 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 powerful. The voice of YHWH is full of majesty.

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

5 The voice of YHWH breaks the cedars. Yes, YHWH breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

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

6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

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 strikes with flashes of lightning.

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

8 The voice of YHWH shakes the wilderness. YHWH shakes 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 makes the large trees tremble, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything 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 sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, YHWH sits as King forever.

The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.

11 YHWH will give strength to his people. YHWH will bless his people with peace.

The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
