Psalmul 29

Un psalm al lui David

Fiii lui Dumnezeu, daţi(A) Domnului,
daţi Domnului slavă şi cinste.
Daţi Domnului slava cuvenită Numelui Lui!
Închinaţi-vă înaintea Domnului îmbrăcaţi cu podoabe(B) sfinte!
Glasul Domnului răsună pe ape,
Dumnezeul(C) slavei face să bubuie tunetul:
Domnul este pe ape mari.
Glasul Domnului este puternic,
glasul Domnului este măreţ.
Glasul Domnului sfărâmă cedrii;
Domnul sfărâmă cedrii(D) Libanului;
îi(E) face să sară ca nişte viţei,
şi Libanul şi Sirionul(F) sar ca nişte pui de bivoli.
Glasul Domnului face să ţâşnească flăcări de foc,
glasul Domnului face să se cutremure pustia;
Domnul face să tremure pustia Cades(G).
Glasul Domnului face pe cerboaice(H) să nască;
El despoaie pădurile; în locaşul Lui totul strigă: „Slavă!”
10 Domnul stătea(I) pe scaunul Lui de domnie când cu Potopul
şi Domnul împărăţeşte în veci pe scaunul Lui de domnie.
11 Domnul(J) dă tărie poporului Său,
Domnul binecuvântează pe poporul Său cu pace.
