< Psalms 29 >
1 A Melody of David. Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, —Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength:
A Psalm. Of David. Give to the Lord, you sons of the gods, give to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness.
Give to the Lord the full glory of his name; give him worship in holy robes.
3 The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters, —The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;
The voice of the Lord is on the waters: the God of glory is thundering, the Lord is on the great waters.
4 The voice of Yahweh, is with power, The voice of Yahweh, is with majesty;
The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound.
5 The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon!
By the voice of the Lord are the cedar-trees broken, even the cedars of Lebanon are broken by the Lord.
6 And hath made them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion, like the bull-calf of wild-oxen;
He makes them go jumping about like a young ox; Lebanon and Sirion like a young mountain ox.
7 The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire;
At the voice of the Lord flames of fire are seen.
8 The voice of Yahweh, bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness; Yahweh bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness of Kadesh!
At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land 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!
At the voice of the Lord the roes give birth, the leaves are taken from the trees: 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.
The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.
11 Yahweh, will give, strength to his people, —Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.
The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people the blessing of peace.
