Psalms 29

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

psalmus David in consummatione tabernaculi adferte Domino filii Dei adferte Domino filios arietum

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

adferte Domino gloriam et honorem adferte Domino gloriam nomini eius adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius

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

vox Domini super aquas Deus maiestatis intonuit Dominus super aquas multas

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

vox Domini in virtute vox Domini in magnificentia

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

vox Domini confringentis cedros et confringet Dominus cedros Libani

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

et comminuet eas tamquam vitulum Libani et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium

7 Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

vox Domini intercidentis flammam ignis

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

vox Domini concutientis desertum et commovebit Dominus desertum Cades

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

vox Domini praeparantis cervos et revelabit condensa et in templo eius omnis dicet gloriam

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

Dominus diluvium inhabitare facit et sedebit Dominus rex in aeternum

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

Dominus virtutem populo suo dabit Dominus benedicet populo suo in pace
