Psalms 29
Psalm 29
A psalm of David.
1 Ascribe to the Lord,(a) you heavenly beings,(b)
ascribe to the Lord glory(c) and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his[a] holiness.(d)
3 The voice(e) of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory(f) thunders,(g)
the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.(h)
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;(i)
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.(j)
6 He makes Lebanon leap(k) like a calf,
Sirion[b](l) like a young wild ox.(m)
7 The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightning.(n)
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.(o)
9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks[c](p)
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, "Glory!"(q)
10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;(r)
the Lord is enthroned as King forever.(s)
11 The Lord gives strength to his people;(t)
the Lord blesses his people with peace.(u)
