Psalms 29

Ascribe Glory to the LORD

A Psalm of David.

1Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. ¹

2Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness. ²

3The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters.

4The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

5The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. ³

7The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

8The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!” ⁴

10The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

11The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.
