< Psalms 29 >
1 You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.
A Psalm of David. Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.
2 Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].
Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array.
3 Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans; Yahweh, the glorious God, thunders. His voice thunders over the huge oceans [DOU].
The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters.
4 His voice is powerful and majestic.
The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.
5 The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.
The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He causes [the mountains in] Lebanon to jump like calves jump, and causes Hermon [Mountain] to jump like a young bull jumps.
He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.
7 Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.
The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.
8 His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].
The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 Yahweh’s voice shakes the huge oak trees and strips the leaves from the trees while the people in the temple shout, “Praise [God]!”
The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.
10 Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.
Jehovah sat [as King] at the Flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.
11 Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.
Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
