Psalmorum 29

1 Psalmus David, In consummatione tabernaculi. Afferte Domino filii Dei: afferte Domino filios arietum:

Ascribe to Adonai, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Adonai kavod ·weighty glory· and strength.

2 Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem, afferte Domino gloriam nomini eius: adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius.

Ascribe to Adonai the kavod ·weighty glory· due to his name. Hawa ·Bow low, prostrate· to worship Adonai in holy array.

3 Vox Domini super aquas, Deus maiestatis intonuit: Dominus super aquas multas.

Adonai’s voice is on the waters. The God of kavod ·weighty glory· thunders, even Adonai on many waters.

5 Vox Domini confringentis cedros: et confringet Dominus cedros Libani:

6 Et comminuet eas tamquam vitulum Libani: et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

Adonai’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 vox Domini concutientis desertum: et commovebit Dominus desertum Cades.
