Psalms 29
1 A Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye sons of the mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
You angels in heaven, praise Yahweh! Praise him because he is very glorious and powerful.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
Proclaim that (he/his name) is glorious; bow down before Yahweh in his holy [temple].
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, even the LORD upon many waters.
Yahweh’s voice is heard above the oceans; Yahweh, the glorious God, thunders. His voice thunders over the huge oceans [DOU].
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
His voice is powerful and majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
The sound of Yahweh’s voice breaks great cedar trees, the cedars that grow in Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.
He causes [the mountains in] Lebanon to jump like calves jump, and causes Hermon [Mountain] to jump like a young bull jumps.
7 The voice of the LORD cleaveth the flames of fire.
Yahweh’s voice causes lightning to flash.
8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
His voice causes the desert to shake; he shakes Kadesh Desert [in the southern part of Judah].
9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and strippeth the forests bare: and in his temple every thing saith, Glory.
Yahweh’s voice shakes the huge oak trees and strips the leaves from the trees while the people in the temple shout, “Praise [God]!”
10 The LORD sat [as king] at the Flood; yea, the LORD sitteth as king for ever.
Yahweh ruled over the flood [that covered the earth]; he is our King who will rule forever.
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
Yahweh enables his people to be strong, and he blesses them by causing things to go well for them.
