Psalm 29

Common English Bible

Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

29 You, divine beings! Give to the Lord—
give to the Lord glory and power!
²Give to the Lord the glory due his name!
Bow down to the Lord in holy splendor!

³The Lord’s voice is over the waters;
    the glorious God thunders;
        the Lord is over the mighty waters.
⁴The Lord’s voice is strong;
    the Lord’s voice is majestic.
⁵The Lord’s voice breaks cedar trees—
    yes, the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶He makes Lebanon jump around like a young bull,
    makes Sirion jump around like a young wild ox.
⁷The Lord’s voice unleashes fiery flames;
⁸    the Lord’s voice shakes the wilderness—
        yes, the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
⁹The Lord’s voice convulses the oaks,
    strips the forests bare,
        but in his temple everyone shouts, “Glory!”
¹⁰The Lord sits enthroned over the floodwaters;
    the Lord sits enthroned—king forever!

¹¹Let the Lord give strength to his people!
Let the Lord bless his people with peace!

Isaiah 2:1-5

Common English Bible

The Lord’s mountain

2 This is what Isaiah, Amoz’s son, saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.

²In the days to come
    the mountain of the Lord’s house
    will be the highest of the mountains.
    It will be lifted above the hills;
        peoples will stream to it.
³Many nations will go and say,
“Come, let’s go up to the Lord’s mountain,
    to the house of Jacob’s God
        so that he may teach us his ways
        and we may walk in God’s paths.”
Instruction will come from Zion;
    the Lord’s word from Jerusalem.
⁴God will judge between the nations,
    and settle disputes of mighty nations.
Then they will beat their swords into iron plows
    and their spears into pruning tools.
Nation will not take up sword against nation;
    they will no longer learn how to make war.

⁵Come, house of Jacob,
let’s walk by the Lord’s light.

Romans 8:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹But you aren’t self-centered. Instead you are in the Spirit, if in fact God’s Spirit lives in you. If anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, they don’t belong to him. ¹⁰If Christ is in you, the Spirit is your life because of God’s righteousness, but the body is dead because of sin. ¹¹If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your human bodies also, through his Spirit that lives in you.
