Psalm 29

1 A psalm by David. Give to the Lord, you heavenly beings.Give to the Lord glory and power.2 Give to the LORD the glory his name deserves.Worship the Lord in his holy splendor.3 The voice of the Lord rolls over the water.The God of glory thunders.The Lord shouts over raging water.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 splinters the cedars of Lebanon.6 He makes Lebanon skip along like a calfand Mount Sirion like a wild ox.7 The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning.8 The voice of the Lord makes the wilderness tremble.The Lord makes the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.9 The voice of the Lord splits the oakstand strips the trees of the forests bare.Everyone in his temple is saying, “Glory!”10 The Lord sat enthroned over the flood.The Lord sits enthroned as king forever.11 The Lord will give power 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.
