< Psalms 29 >
1 You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.
“A psalm of David.” Give to Jehovah, O ye sons of God! Give to Jehovah glory and praise!
2 Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].
Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Worship Jehovah in holy attire!
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 heard above the waters; The God of glory thundereth, -Jehovah above the great 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 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.
Yea, he maketh them to leap like a calf, —Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.
7 Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.
The voice of Jehovah divideth 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 maketh the wilderness tremble; Yea, Jehovah maketh the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.
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 bring forth, And layeth bare the forests; While, in his palace, every one declareth his glory.
10 Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.
Jehovah sitteth above the flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth 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 to his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
