Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

¹ Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings, 
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

³ The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
    the God of glory thunders, 
    the Lord thunders over the mighty waters. 
⁴ The voice of the Lord is powerful; 
    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. 
⁶ He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
    Sirion like a young wild ox. 
⁷ The voice of the Lord strikes
    with flashes of lightning. 
⁸ The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
    the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh. 
⁹ The voice of the Lord twists the oaks 
    and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; 
    the Lord is enthroned as King forever. 
¹¹ The Lord gives strength to his people; 
    the Lord blesses his people with peace.
