Psalms 29

1Give unto the LORD, O ye sons of the mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 2Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 3The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth, even the LORD upon many waters. 4The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. 6He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox. 7The voice of the LORD cleaveth the flames of fire. 8The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. 9The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and strippeth the forests bare: and in his temple every thing saith, Glory. 10The LORD sat as king at the Flood; yea, the LORD sitteth as king for ever. 11The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
