Psalms 29

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

A Psalm of David [on the occasion] of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, you sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honour.

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

Bring to the Lord glory, [due] to his name; worship the lord in his holy court.

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

The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory has thundered: the Lord is upon many waters.

4 Yahweh’s voice is powerful. Yahweh’s voice is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

5 Yahweh’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

[There is] the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus.

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

And he will beat them small, [even] Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn.

7 Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

[There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.

8 Yahweh’s voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.

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

The voice of the Lord strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks [of his] glory.

10 Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.

The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.

11 Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.

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