Psalms 29

Praise to God for His Glory and Strength

¹Ascribe to Yahweh, O sons of God,[#Or “heavenly beings”]

ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

²Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due his name.[#Literally “of”]

Worship Yahweh in holy array.

³The voice of Yahweh is over the waters;

the God of glory thunders.

Yahweh is over many waters.

⁴The voice of Yahweh is powerful.

The voice of Yahweh is majestic.

⁵The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars.

Yahweh shatters even the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶And he makes them skip like a calf;

Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷The voice of Yahweh flashes flames of fire.[#Or “divides”]

⁸The voice of Yahweh shakes the wilderness.

Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹The voice of Yahweh causes deer to give birth[#A slightly different Hebrew word here yields, “makes the oaks tremble”]

and strips the forests bare.

And at his temple all in it say, “Glory!”

¹⁰Yahweh sits enthroned at the flood,

and Yahweh sits as king forever.

¹¹May Yahweh give strength to his people.

May Yahweh bless his people with peace.
