< Psalms 29 >
1 You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.
A Melody of David. Give to Yahweh, ye sons of the mighty, —Give to Yahweh, [both] glory and strength:
2 Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].
Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness.
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 Yahweh, is upon the waters, —The GOD of glory, hath thundered, Yahweh, is upon mighty waters;
4 His voice is powerful and majestic.
The voice of Yahweh, is with power, The voice of Yahweh, is with majesty;
5 The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.
The voice of Yahweh, is breaking cedars, Now hath Yahweh, broken down, 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.
And hath made them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion, like the bull-calf of wild-oxen;
7 Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.
The voice of Yahweh, is cleaving out flames of fire;
8 His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].
The voice of Yahweh, bringeth birth-pains upon the wilderness; Yahweh bringeth birth-pains upon 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 Yahweh, causeth the gazelles to bring forth, and hath stript forests; and, in his own temple, every one there, is saying, Glory!
10 Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.
Yahweh, at the Flood, was seated, And Yahweh hath taken his seat, as king, unto times age-abiding.
11 Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.
Yahweh, will give, strength to his people, —Yahweh, will bless his people with prosperity.
