Psalm 29

1 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.

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

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

6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightning.

8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord is enthroned as King forever.

11 The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.

PSALMS 29

The Voice of the [Lord] //in a Storm

1  t All you angelst in heaven,
honor the glory and power
of the [Lord]!

2 Honor the wonderful name
of the [Lord],
and worship the [Lord]
most holy and glorious.t

3 The voice of the [Lord]
echoes over the oceans.
The glorious [Lord] God
thunders above the roar
of the raging sea,

4 and his voice is mighty
and marvelous.

5 The voice of the [Lord]
destroys the cedar trees;
the [Lord] shatters cedars
on Mount Lebanon.

6 God makes Mount Lebanon
skip like a calf
and Mount Hermon
jump like a wild ox.

7 The voice of the [Lord]
makes lightning flash

8 and the desert tremble.
And because of the [Lord],
the desert near Kadesh
shivers and shakes.

9 The voice of the [Lord]
makes deer give birth
before their time.t
Forests are stripped of leaves,
and the temple is filled
with shouts of praise.

10 The [Lord] rules on his throne,
king of the floodt forever.

11 Pray that our [Lord]
will make us strong
and give us peace.
