Psalms 29

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

Psalmus David, In consummatione tabernaculi. Afferte Domino filii Dei: afferte Domino filios arietum:

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

Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem, afferte Domino gloriam nomini eius: adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius.

3 Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans; Yahweh, the glorious God, thunders. His voice thunders over the huge oceans [DOU].

Vox Domini super aquas, Deus maiestatis intonuit: Dominus super aquas multas.

4 His voice is powerful and majestic.

Vox Domini in virtute: vox Domini in magnificentia.

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

Vox Domini confringentis cedros: et confringet Dominus cedros Libani:

6 He causes [the mountains in] Lebanon to jump like calves jump, and causes Hermon [Mountain] to jump like a young bull jumps.

Et comminuet eas tamquam vitulum Libani: et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium.

7 Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.

Vox Domini intercidentis flammam ignis:

8 His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].

vox Domini concutientis desertum: et commovebit Dominus desertum Cades.

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]!”

Vox Domini præparantis cervos, et revelabit condensa: et in templo eius omnes dicent gloriam.

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

Dominus diluvium inhabitare facit: et sedebit Dominus rex in æternum.

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

Dominus virtutem populo suo dabit: Dominus benedicet populo suo in pace.
