Psalms 29

The Voice of the Lord

A Davidic psalm.

¹Ascribe to Yahweh, you heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

²Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due His name; worship Yahweh in the splendor of His holiness.

³The voice of the Lord is above the waters. The God of glory thunders — the Lord, above vast waters,

⁴the voice of the Lord in power, the voice of the Lord in splendor.

⁵The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

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

⁷The voice of the Lord flashes flames of fire.

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

⁹The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth and strips the woodlands bare. In His temple all cry, "Glory! "

¹⁰The Lord sat enthroned at the flood; the Lord sits enthroned, King forever.

¹¹The Lord gives His people strength; the Lord blesses His people with peace.
