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 ejus; adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus.

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 majestatis 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 ejus 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.
