Psalms 29

1 A psalm of David. Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of God, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

Give unto the LORD, O all of you mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory his name deserves. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

3 The voice of Yahweh is heard over the waters; the God of glory thunders, Yahweh thunders over many waters.

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is upon many waters.

4 The voice of Yahweh is powerful; the voice of Yahweh is majestic.

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

5 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars; Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yea, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf and Sirion like a young ox.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn (ox).

7 The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.

8 The voice of Yahweh shakes the wilderness; Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Yahweh causes the oaks to twist and strips the forests bare. Everyone in his temple says, “Glory!”

The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and discovers the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory.

10 Yahweh sits as king over the flood; Yahweh sits as king forever.

The LORD sits upon the flood; yea, the LORD sits King for ever.

11 Yahweh gives strength to his people; Yahweh blesses his people with peace.

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