Psalm 29
1 ASCRIBE TO the Lord, O sons of the mighty, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.2 Give to the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness or in holy array.3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is upon many (great) waters.4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.6 He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.7 The voice of the Lord splits and flashes forth forked lightning.8 The voice of the Lord makes the wilderness tremble; the Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.9 The voice of the Lord makes the hinds bring forth their young, and His voice strips bare the forests, while in His temple everyone is saying, Glory!10 The Lord sat as King over the deluge; the Lord [still] sits as King [and] forever!11 The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.
Psalm 29
A psalm of David.
1 Acknowledge the Lord, you heavenly beings,
acknowledge the Lord’s majesty and power!
2 Acknowledge the majesty of the Lord’s reputation!
Worship the Lord in holy attire!
3 The Lord’s shout is heard over the water;
the majestic God thunders,
the Lord appears over the surging water.
4 The Lord’s shout is powerful,
the Lord’s shout is majestic.
5 The Lord’s shout breaks the cedars,
the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf
and Sirion like a young ox.
7 The Lord’s shout strikes with flaming fire.
8 The Lord’s shout shakes the wilderness,
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The Lord’s shout bends the large trees
and strips the leaves from the forests.
Everyone in his temple says, “Majestic!”
10 The Lord sits enthroned over the engulfing waters,
the Lord sits enthroned as the eternal king.
11 The Lord gives his people strength;
the Lord grants his people security.
