Psalms 29

1 A Psalm of David [on the occasion] of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, you sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honour.

A Psalm of David, at the completion of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O sons of God, bring to the Lord the sons of rams.

2 Bring to the Lord glory, [due] to his name; worship the lord in his holy court.

Bring to the Lord, glory and honor. Bring to the Lord, glory for his name. Adore the Lord in his holy court.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory has thundered: the Lord is upon many waters.

The voice of the Lord is over the waters. The God of majesty has thundered. The Lord is over many waters.

4 The voice of the Lord is mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

The voice of the Lord is in virtue. The voice of the Lord is in magnificence.

5 [There is] the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus.

The voice of the Lord shatters the cedars. And the Lord will shatter the cedars of Lebanon.

6 And he will beat them small, [even] Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn.

And it will break them into pieces, like a calf of Lebanon, and in the same way as the beloved son of the single-horned beast.

7 [There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.

The voice of the Lord cuts through the flame of fire.

8 A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness of Cades.

The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. And the Lord will quake the desert of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the Lord strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks [of his] glory.

The voice of the Lord is preparing the stags, and he will reveal the dense woods. And in his temple, all will speak his glory.

10 The Lord will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a king for ever.

The Lord causes the great flood to dwell. And the Lord will sit as King in eternity.

11 The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

The Lord will give virtue to his people. The Lord will bless his people in peace.
