Psalms 29

1 A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.

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

2 Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.

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

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.

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

4 The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.

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

5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.

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

6 And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.

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

7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:

The Lord’s voice hews out flames of fire.

8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.

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

9 The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.

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

10 The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.

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

11 The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.

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