Psalms 29

^[a]^Ascribe to the Lord, O ^[b]^sons of the mighty,

Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

^2

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name;

Worship the Lord in the beauty and majesty of His holiness [as the creator and source of holiness].

^3

The voice of theLordis upon the waters;

The God of glory thunders;

The Lord is over many waters.

^4

The voice of theLordis powerful;

The voice of theLordis full of majesty.

^5

The voice of theLordbreaks the cedars;

Yes, the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

^6

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,

And Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.

^7

The voice of theLordrakes flames of fire (lightning).

^8

The voice of theLordshakes the wilderness;

The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

^9

The voice of theLord ^[c]makes the doe labor and give birth

And strips the forests bare;

And in His temple all are saying, “Glory!”

^10

The Lord sat as King at the flood;

Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.

^11

The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people;

The Lord will bless His people with peace.
