Psalm 29

The Voice of God in a Great Storm

A Psalm of David.
¹ Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,^*
   ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
   worship the Lord in holy splendour.

³ The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
   the God of glory thunders,
   the Lord, over mighty waters.
⁴ The voice of the Lord is powerful;
   the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
   the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
   and Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷ The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
⁸ The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
   the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl,^*
   and strips the forest bare;
   and in his temple all say, ‘Glory!’

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
   the Lord sits enthroned as king for ever.
¹¹ May the Lord give strength to his people!
   May the Lord bless his people with peace!
