Psalms 29

1 A Psalm of David, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams.

A Psalm by David. Ascribe to the LORD, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

2 Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore the Lord in his holy court.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Worship the LORD in holy array.

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters.

The LORD’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even the LORD on many waters.

4 The voice of the Lord is in virtue. The voice of the Lord is in magnificence.

The LORD’s voice is powerful. The LORD’s voice is full of majesty.

5 The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars. And the Lord will shatter the cedars of Lebanon.

The LORD’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 And it will break them into pieces, like a calf of Lebanon, and in the same way as the beloved son of the single-horned beast.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

7 The voice of the Lord cuts through the flame of fire.

The LORD’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. And the Lord will quake the desert of Kadesh.

The LORD’s voice shakes the wilderness. The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the Lord is preparing the stags, and he will reveal the dense woods. And in his temple, all will speak his glory.

The LORD’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

10 The Lord causes the great flood to dwell. And the Lord will sit as King in eternity.

The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.

11 The Lord will give virtue to his people. The Lord will bless his people in peace.

The LORD will give strength to his people. The LORD will bless his people with peace.
