Psalms 29

1A Psalm of David. Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength; 2Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour. 3The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: theGod of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters. 4The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty. 5The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon: 6And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo. 7The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire. 8The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory! 10Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever. 11Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
