Psalms 29

1 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

[A Psalm by David.] Ascribe to Jehovah, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

Ascribe to Jehovah the glory due to his name. Worship Jehovah in holy array.

3 The voice of Jehovah [is] on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah [is] on many waters.

The voice of Jehovah is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Jehovah on many waters.

4 The voice of Jehovah [is] with power, The voice of Jehovah [is] with majesty,

The voice of Jehovah is powerful. The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.

5 The voice of Jehovah [is] shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.

The voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars. Yes, Jehovah breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

7 The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,

The voice of Jehovah strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of Jehovah shakes the wilderness. Jehovah shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, 'Glory.'

The voice of Jehovah makes the large trees tremble, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, "Glory."

10 Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king — to the age,

Jehovah sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Jehovah sits as King forever.

11 Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!

Jehovah will give strength to his people. Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
