Psalms 29

1 [A Psalm by David.] Ascribe to YHWH, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

Give to the LORD, O you mighty, give to the LORD glory and strength.

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

Give to the LORD the glory due to his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

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 on the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is on many waters.

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

The voice of the LORD is powerful; 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.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yes, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

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

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

7 The voice of YHWH strikes with flashes of lightning.

The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

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

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness 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 makes the hinds to calve, and discovers the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory.

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

The LORD sits on the flood; yes, the LORD sits 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.
