Psalm 29
A psalm by David.
1Give to the Lord, you heavenly beings.
Give to the Lord glory and power.
2Give to the Lord the glory his name deserves.
Worship the Lord in ⌞his⌟ holy splendor.
3The voice of the Lord rolls over the water.
The God of glory thunders.
The Lord shouts over raging water.
4The voice of the Lord is powerful.
The voice of the Lord is majestic.
5The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars.
The Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
6He makes Lebanon skip along like a calf
and Mount Sirion like a wild ox.
7The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning.
8The voice of the Lord makes the wilderness tremble.
The Lord makes the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.
9The voice of the Lord splits the oaks
and strips ⌞the trees of⌟ the forests bare.
Everyone in his temple is saying, “Glory!”
10The Lord sat enthroned over the flood.
The Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
11The Lord will give power to his people.
The Lord will bless his people with peace.

4and his voice is mighty
and marvelous.

destroys the cedar trees;
the Lord shatters cedars
on Mount Lebanon.
6God makes Mount Lebanon
skip like a calf
and Mount Hermon
jump like a wild ox.

And because of the Lord,
the desert near Kadesh
shivers and shakes.

makes deer give birth
before their time.#29.9 makes … time: Or “twists the oak trees around.”

and the temple is filled
with shouts of praise.

king of the flood#29.10 king of the flood: In ancient times the people of Israel believed that a mighty ocean surrounded all of creation, and that God could release the water to flood the earth. forever.
11Pray that our Lord
will make us strong
and give us peace.
