Psalm 29

A David Psalm

1-2 Bravo, God, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, "Encore!" In awe before the glory, in awe before God's visible power. Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him!
3 God thunders across the waters, Brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness— God, across the flood waters.
4 God's thunder tympanic, God's thunder symphonic.
5 God's thunder smashes cedars, God topples the northern cedars.
6 The mountain ranges skip like spring colts, The high ridges jump like wild kid goats.
7-8 God's thunder spits fire. God thunders, the wilderness quakes; He makes the desert of Kadesh shake.
9 God's thunder sets the oak trees dancing A wild dance, whirling; the pelting rain strips their branches. We fall to our knees—we call out, "Glory!"
10 Above the floodwaters is God's throne from which his power flows, from which he rules the world.
11 God makes his people strong. God gives his people peace.

Psalm 29

1 Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

2 Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array.

3 The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters.

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

5 The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

7 The voice of Jehovah cleaveth the flames of fire.

8 The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.

10 Jehovah sat as King at the Flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth as King for ever.

11 Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
