Psalm 29

THE VOICE OF THE LORD

A psalm of David.

1 Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,B

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

worship the Lord

in the splendor of his holiness.C,o

3 The voice of the Lord is above the waters.

The God of glory thunders—

the Lord, above the vast water,p

4 the voice of the Lord in power,

the voice of the Lord in splendor.q

5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.r

6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,s

and Sirion, like a young wild ox.t

7 The voice of the Lord flashes flames of fire.u

8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;

the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.v

9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birthD,w

and strips the woodlands bare.x

In his temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;

the Lord sits enthroned, King forever.y

11 The Lord gives his people strength;z

the Lord blesses his people with peace.aa
