Psalms 29

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

A Psalm of David [on the occasion] of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, you sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honor.

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

Bring to the Lord glory, [due] to his name; worship the lord in his holy court.

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 has thundered: 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 mighty; 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.

[There is] the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus.

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

And he will beat them small, [even] Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn.

7 The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

[There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.

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

A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.

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 strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks [of his] glory.

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

The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.

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

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