Psalms 29

1Give unto the LORD, O all of you 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 thunders: the LORD is upon many waters. 4The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; yea, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon. 6He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn (p. ox). 7The voice of the LORD divides the 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 hinds to calve, and discovers the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory. 10The LORD sits upon the flood; yea, the LORD sits King for ever. 11The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.
