Psalms 29

1 A psalm of David. Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and power

psalmus David in consummatione tabernaculi adferte Domino filii Dei adferte Domino filios arietum

2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bow to the Lord in holy array.

adferte Domino gloriam et honorem adferte Domino gloriam nomini eius adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius

3 The Lord’s voice peals on the waters. The God of glory has thundered. He peals o’er the mighty waters.

vox Domini super aquas Deus maiestatis intonuit Dominus super aquas multas

4 The Lord’s voice sounds with strength, the Lord’s voice sounds with majesty.

vox Domini in virtute vox Domini in magnificentia

5 The Lord’s voice breaks the cedars, he breaks the cedars of Lebanon,

vox Domini confringentis cedros et confringet Dominus cedros Libani

6 making Lebanon dance like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox.

et comminuet eas tamquam vitulum Libani et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium

7 The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

vox Domini intercidentis flammam ignis

8 The Lord’s voice rends the desert, he rends the desert of Kadesh.

vox Domini concutientis desertum et commovebit Dominus desertum Cades

9 The Lord’s voice whirls the oaks, and strips the forests bare; and all in his temple say ‘Glory.’

vox Domini praeparantis cervos et revelabit condensa et in templo eius omnis dicet gloriam

10 The Lord was king at the flood, the Lord sits throned forever.

Dominus diluvium inhabitare facit et sedebit Dominus rex in aeternum

11 The Lord gives strength to his people, he blesses his people with peace.

Dominus virtutem populo suo dabit Dominus benedicet populo suo in pace
