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.

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.
