Psalm 29

Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

1 Honor the LORD, you heavenly beingst;
honor the LORD for his glory and strength.2 Honor the LORD for the glory of his name.
Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.3 The voice of the LORD echoes above the sea.
The God of glory thunders.
The LORD thunders over the mighty sea.4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.5 The voice of the LORD splits the mighty cedars;
the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.6 He makes Lebanon’s mountains skip like a calf;
he makes Mount Hermont leap like a young wild ox.7 The voice of the LORD strikes
with bolts of lightning.8 The voice of the LORD makes the barren wilderness quake;
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.9 The voice of the LORD twists mighty oakst
and strips the forests bare.
In his Temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”10 The LORD rules over the floodwaters.
The LORD reigns as king forever.11 The LORD gives his people strength.
The LORD blesses them 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.
