Psalms 29

1 You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.

A Psalm of David. Give to the LORD, O ye mighty, give to the LORD glory and strength.

2 Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].

Give to the LORD, the glory due to his name; worship the LORD in the beauty 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 the LORD [is] upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters.

4 His voice is powerful and majestic.

The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD [is] full of majesty.

5 The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.

The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yes, the LORD 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.

He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

7 Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.

The voice of the LORD 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 the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD 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 the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and maketh bare the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of [his] glory.

10 Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.

The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yes, the LORD sitteth king for ever.

11 Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.

The LORD will give strength to his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
