Psalm 29

PSALM 29

A Psalm of David.

¹Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

²Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;

worship the Lord in holy array.

³The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;

the God of glory thunders,

the Lord, upon many waters.

⁴The voice of the Lord is powerful,

the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars,

the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,

and Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷The voice of the Lord flashes forth 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 oaks to whirl,

and strips the forests bare;

and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;

the Lord sits enthroned as king for ever.

¹¹May the Lord give strength to his people!

May the Lord bless his people with peace!
