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, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams.

2 Ascribe to YHWH the glory due to his name. Worship YHWH in holy array.

Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore 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 over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters.

4 The voice of YHWH is powerful. The voice of YHWH is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord is in virtue. The voice of the Lord is in magnificence.

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

The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars. And the Lord will shatter the cedars of Lebanon.

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

And it will break them into pieces, like a calf of Lebanon, and in the same way as the beloved son of the single-horned beast.

7 The voice of YHWH strikes with flashes of lightning.

The voice of the Lord cuts through the flame of fire.

8 The voice of YHWH shakes the wilderness. YHWH shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. And the Lord will quake the desert of Kadesh.

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 is preparing the stags, and he will reveal the dense woods. And in his temple, all will speak his glory.

10 YHWH sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, YHWH sits as King forever.

The Lord causes the great flood to dwell. And the Lord will sit as King in eternity.

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

The Lord will give virtue to his people. The Lord will bless his people in peace.
