Psalms 29

1 A Melody of David. Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, —Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength:

Ascribe to Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.

2 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness.

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

3 The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters, —The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Jehovah upon many waters.

4 The voice of Yahweh, is with power, The voice of Yahweh, is with majesty;

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

5 The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon!

The voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars. Yea, Jehovah breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 And hath made them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion, like the bull-calf of wild-oxen;

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

7 The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire;

The voice of Jehovah splits the flames of fire.

8 The voice of Yahweh, bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness; Yahweh bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness of Kadesh!

The voice of Jehovah shakes the wilderness. Jehovah shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Yahweh, causeth the gazelles to bring forth, and hath stript forests; and, in his own temple, every one there, is saying, Glory!

The voice of Jehovah makes the hinds to calve, and strips the forests bare. And in his temple everything says, Glory.

10 Yahweh, at the Flood, was seated, And Yahweh hath taken his seat, as king, unto times age-abiding.

Jehovah sat as King at the Flood. Yea, Jehovah sits as King forever.

11 Yahweh, will give, strength to his people, —Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.

Jehovah will give strength to his people. Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
