Psalm 29

Ascribe Glory to the LORD

A Psalm of David.

¹ Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,1 ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

² Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.2

³ The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion 3 like a young wild ox.

The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD twists the oaks 4 and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

¹¹ The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.
