Psalms 29

1 A psalm of David. Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of God, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

2 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory his name deserves. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!

3 The voice of Yahweh is heard over the waters; the God of glory thunders, Yahweh thunders over many waters.

4 The voice of Yahweh is powerful; the voice of Yahweh is majestic.

5 The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars; Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf and Sirion like a young ox.

7 The voice of Yahweh sends out flames of fire.

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

9 The voice of Yahweh causes the oaks to twist and strips the forests bare. Everyone in his temple says, “Glory!”

10 Yahweh sits as king over the flood; Yahweh sits as king forever.

11 Yahweh gives strength to his people; Yahweh blesses his people with peace.
