Psalm 29

The Voice of the Lord

A psalm of David.

Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,†

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

2Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

worship the Lord

in the splendor of his holiness.† †

3The voice of the Lord is above the waters.

The God of glory thunders —

the Lord, above the vast water,†

4the voice of the Lord in power,

the voice of the Lord in splendor.†

5The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.†

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,†

and Sirion, like a young wild ox.†

7The voice of the Lord flashes flames of fire.†

8The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;

the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.†

9The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth† †

and strips the woodlands bare.†

In his temple all cry, “Glory! ”

10The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;

the Lord sits enthroned, King forever.†

11The Lord gives his people strength;†

the Lord blesses his people with peace.†
