< Psalms 29 >
1 A Psalm by David. Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD 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 honour.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Worship the LORD in holy array.
Bring to the Lord glory, [due] to his name; worship the lord in his holy court.
3 The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on 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 LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.
The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD 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 them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.
And he will beat them small, [even] Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn.
7 The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
[There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.
8 The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.
9 The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything 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 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.
The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.
11 The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.
