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 the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

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

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

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

The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.

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

The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.

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

The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD 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 LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

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

The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD 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 LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, 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,

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

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

The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
