Psalms 29

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

מִזְמֹ֗ור לְדָ֫וִ֥ד הָב֣וּ לֽ͏ַ֭יהוָה בְּנֵ֣י אֵלִ֑ים הָב֥וּ לַ֝יהוָ֗ה כָּבֹ֥וד וָעֹֽז׃

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

הָב֣וּ לַֽ֭יהוָה כְּבֹ֣וד שְׁמֹ֑ו הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַ֝יהוָ֗ה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

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

קֹ֥ול יְהוָ֗ה עַל־הַ֫מָּ֥יִם אֵֽל־הַכָּבֹ֥וד הִרְעִ֑ים יְ֝הוָ֗ה עַל־מַ֥יִם רַבִּֽים׃

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

קֹול־יְהוָ֥ה בַּכֹּ֑חַ קֹ֥ול יְ֝הוָ֗ה בֶּהָדָֽר׃

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

קֹ֣ול יְ֭הוָה שֹׁבֵ֣ר אֲרָזִ֑ים וַיְשַׁבֵּ֥ר יְ֝הוָ֗ה אֶת־אַרְזֵ֥י הַלְּבָנֹֽון׃

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

וַיַּרְקִידֵ֥ם כְּמֹו־עֵ֑גֶל לְבָנֹ֥ון וְ֝שִׂרְיֹ֗ן כְּמֹ֣ו בֶן־רְאֵמִֽים׃

7 The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

קֹול־יְהוָ֥ה חֹצֵ֗ב לַהֲבֹ֥ות אֵֽשׁ׃

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

קֹ֣ול יְ֭הוָה יָחִ֣יל מִדְבָּ֑ר יָחִ֥יל יְ֝הוָ֗ה מִדְבַּ֥ר קָדֵֽשׁ׃

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

קֹ֤ול יְהוָ֨ה ׀ יְחֹולֵ֣ל אַיָּלֹות֮ וַֽיֶּחֱשֹׂ֪ף יְעָ֫רֹ֥ות וּבְהֵיכָלֹ֑ו כֻּ֝לֹּ֗ו אֹמֵ֥ר כָּבֹֽוד׃

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

יְ֭הוָה לַמַּבּ֣וּל יָשָׁ֑ב וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב יְ֝הוָ֗ה מֶ֣לֶךְ לְעֹולָֽם׃

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

יְֽהוָ֗ה עֹ֖ז לְעַמֹּ֣ו יִתֵּ֑ן יְהוָ֓ה ׀ יְבָרֵ֖ךְ אֶת־עַמֹּ֣ו בַשָּׁלֹֽום׃
