Psalm 29

God in the Thunderstorm

A psalm of David.

29Praise the Lord, you angels;

praise the Lord’s glory and power.

²Praise the Lord for the glory of his name;

worship the Lord because he is holy.

³The Lord’s voice is heard over the sea.

The glorious God thunders;

the Lord thunders over the ocean.

⁴The Lord’s voice is powerful;

the Lord’s voice is majestic.

⁵The Lord’s voice breaks the trees;

the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶He makes the land of Lebanon dance like a calf

and Mount Hermon jump like a baby bull.

⁷The Lord’s voice makes the lightning flash.

⁸The Lord’s voice shakes the desert;

the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.

⁹The Lord’s voice shakes the oaks

and strips the leaves off the trees.

In his Temple everyone says, “Glory to God!”

¹⁰The Lord controls the flood.

The Lord will be King forever.

¹¹The Lord gives strength to his people;

the Lord blesses his people with peace.
