Psalm 29



Ascribe to the Lord Glory

A Psalm of David.

29:1  Ascribe to the Lord , O heavenly beings, [1]
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. [2]

The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord , over many waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth [3]
and strips the forests bare,
and in his temple all cry, "Glory!"

10  The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.
11  May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless [4] his people with peace!
