Psalm 2928

A psalm of David.

29:1 Acknowledge the Lord, you heavenly beings,1

acknowledge the Lord’s majesty and power!2

29:2 Acknowledge the majesty of the Lord’s reputation!3

Worship the Lord in holy attire!4

29:3 The Lord’s shout is heard over the water;5

the majestic God thunders,6

the Lord appears over the surging water.7

29:4 The Lord’s shout is powerful,8

the Lord’s shout is majestic.9

29:5 The Lord’s shout breaks10 the cedars,

the Lord shatters11 the cedars of Lebanon.12

29:6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf

and Sirion13 like a young ox.14

29:7 The Lord’s shout strikes15 with flaming fire.16

29:8 The Lord’s shout shakes17 the wilderness,

the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.18

29:9 The Lord’s shout bends19 the large trees20

and strips21 the leaves from the forests.22

Everyone in his temple says, “Majestic!”23

29:10 The Lord sits enthroned over the engulfing waters,24

the Lord sits enthroned25 as the eternal king.

29:11 The Lord gives26 his people strength;27

the Lord grants his people security.28
