Psalm 29

The Voice of the LORD

A psalm of David.

1   Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings, P

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. Q,o

3   The voice of the LORD is above the waters.

The God of glory thunders—

the LORD, above the vast water, p

4   the voice of the LORD in power,

the voice of the LORD in splendor. q

5   The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;

the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon. r

6   He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, s

and Sirion, like a young wild ox. t

7   The voice of the LORD flashes flames of fire. u

8   The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;

the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh. v

9   The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth R,w

and strips the woodlands bare. x

In his temple all cry, “Glory! ”

10   The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;

the LORD sits enthroned, King forever. y

11   The LORD gives his people strength; z

the LORD blesses his people with peace. a
