Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

1 Ascribe to the Lord,y you heavenly beings,z

ascribe to the Lord glorya and strength.

2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

worship the Lord in the splendor of hisa holiness.b

3 The voicec of the Lord is over the waters;

the God of gloryd thunders,e

the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.f

4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;g

the voice of the Lord is majestic.

5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.h

6 He makes Lebanon leapi like a calf,

Sirionb j like a young wild ox.k

7 The voice of the Lord strikes

with flashes of lightning.l

8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;

the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.m

9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaksc n

and strips the forests bare.

And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”o

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;p

the Lord is enthroned as King forever.q

11 The Lord gives strength to his people;r

the Lord blesses his people with peace.s
