Psalms 29

The Voice of the Lord in a Storm

¹All you angels in heaven,[#Ps 96.7-9.; #29.1 Or “supernatural beings” or “gods.”]

honor the glory and power

of the Lord !

²Honor the wonderful name

of the Lord ,

and worship the Lord

most holy and glorious.

³The voice of the Lord

echoes over the oceans.

The glorious Lord God

thunders above the roar

of the raging sea,

⁴and his voice is mighty

and marvelous.

⁵The voice of the Lord

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.

⁷The voice of the Lord

makes lightning flash

⁸and the desert tremble.

And because of the Lord ,

the desert near Kadesh

shivers and shakes.

⁹The voice of the Lord

makes deer give birth

before their time.

Forests are stripped of leaves,

and the temple is filled

with shouts of praise.

¹⁰The Lord rules on his throne,

king of the flood forever.

¹¹Pray that our Lord

will make us strong

and give us peace.
