Psalms 29
1 A Melody of David. Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, —Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength:
You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.
2 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness.
Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].
3 The voice of Yahweh, is upon the waters, —The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;
Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans; Yahweh, the glorious God, thunders. His voice thunders over the huge oceans [DOU].
4 The voice of Yahweh, is with power, The voice of Yahweh, is with majesty;
His voice is powerful and majestic.
5 The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, the cedars of Lebanon!
The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.
6 And hath made them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion, like the bull-calf of wild-oxen;
He causes [the mountains in] Lebanon to jump like calves jump, and causes Hermon [Mountain] to jump like a young bull jumps.
7 The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire;
Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.
8 The voice of Yahweh, bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness; Yahweh bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness of Kadesh!
His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].
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!
Yahweh’s voice shakes the huge oak trees and strips the leaves from the trees while the people in the temple shout, “Praise [God]!”
10 Yahweh, at the Flood, was seated, And Yahweh hath taken his seat, as king, unto times age-abiding.
Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.
11 Yahweh, will give, strength to his people, —Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.
Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.
