Psalms 29

1 A psalm of David. Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and power

A Psalm of David. Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

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

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.

3 The Lord’s voice peals on the waters. The God of glory has thundered. He peals o’er the mighty waters.

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters.

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

The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

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

The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:

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

And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.

7 The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.

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

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

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

The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!

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

Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.

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

Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
