Psalms 29

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars; Yahweh 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 Lebanon skip like a calf and Sirion like a young ox.

7 The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,

The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

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

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

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

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

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

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