Psalm 29

A Psalm of David.

Give to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
    give to the Lord glory and strength.
Give to the Lord the glory of His name;
    worship the Lord in holy splendor.

The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
    the God of glory thunders;
    the Lord is over many waters.
The voice of the Lord sounds with strength;
    the voice of the Lord—with majesty.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes them skip like a calf,
    Lebanon and Sirion like a wild ox.
The voice of the Lord flashes
    like 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 to give birth,
    and strips the forests bare;
and in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sits enthroned above the flood,
    the Lord sits as King forever.
11 The Lord will give strength to His people;
    the Lord will bless His people with peace.
