Psalms 29:1-7
Psalms 29:1-8 The Message (MSG)
Bravo, GOD, bravo! Gods and all angels shout, “Encore!” In awe before the glory, in awe before God’s visible power. Stand at attention! Dress your best to honor him! GOD thunders across the waters, Brilliant, his voice and his face, streaming brightness— GOD, across the flood waters. GOD’s thunder tympanic, GOD’s thunder symphonic. GOD’s thunder smashes cedars, GOD topples the northern cedars. The mountain ranges skip like spring colts, The high ridges jump like wild kid goats. GOD’s thunder spits fire. GOD thunders, the wilderness quakes; He makes the desert of Kadesh shake.
Psalms 29:1-7 King James Version (KJV)
Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth: The LORD is upon many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty. The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; Yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
