诗篇 29
Chinese New Version (Traditional)

　神在風暴中顯示能力威嚴

大衛的詩。

29 　神的眾子啊！要歸給耶和華，

你們要把榮耀和能力歸給耶和華。（本節在《馬索拉文本》包括細字標題）

2 要把耶和華的名的榮耀歸給他，

要以聖潔的裝束敬拜耶和華。（“要以聖潔的裝束敬拜耶和華”或譯：“在耶和華顯現的時候，要敬拜他”，或“要在耶和華聖潔的光輝中敬拜他”）

3 耶和華的聲音在眾水之上，

榮耀的　神打雷，

耶和華打雷在大水之上。

4 耶和華的聲音大有能力，

耶和華的聲音充滿威嚴。

5 耶和華的聲音震斷了香柏樹，

耶和華震斷了黎巴嫩的香柏樹。

6 他使黎巴嫩山跳躍像牛犢，

使西連山跳躍像野牛犢。

7 耶和華的聲音帶著火燄劈下。

8 耶和華的聲音震撼曠野，

耶和華震撼加低斯的曠野。

9 耶和華的聲音驚動母鹿生產，

使林中的樹木光禿凋零；

凡是在他殿中的都說：“榮耀啊！”

10 耶和華坐在洪水之上，

耶和華坐著為王直到永遠。

11 願耶和華賜力量給他的子民，

願耶和華賜平安的福給他的子民。
