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, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams.

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

Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore 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 over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

7 Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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