Psalms 29

Psalm 29

The Voice of the Lord in the Storm.

1Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

2Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty and majesty of His holiness [as the creator and source of holiness].

3The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; The God of glory thunders; The Lord is over many waters.

4The voice of the Lord is powerful; The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

5The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.

7The voice of the Lord rakes flames of fire (lightning).

8The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of the Lord makes the doe labor and give birth And strips the forests bare; And in His temple all are saying, “Glory!”

10The Lord sat as King at the flood; Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.

11The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace.
