Psalm 29 (BSB)

Ascribe Glory to the Lord

1A Psalm of David.

Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,29:1 Or sons of God or sons of might

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.29:2 Or in holy attire

3The voice of the Lord is over the waters;

the God of glory thunders;

the Lord is heard over many waters.

4The voice of the Lord is powerful;

the voice of the Lord is majestic.

5The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,

and Sirion29:6 That is, Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

7The voice of the Lord

strikes with flames of fire.

8The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;

the Lord shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of the Lord twists the oaks29:9 Or Lord makes the deer to calve

and strips the forests bare.

And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

10The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;

the Lord is enthroned as King forever.

11The Lord gives His people strength;

the Lord blesses His people with peace.
