Psalm 29  New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Psalm 29

The Voice of God in a Great Storm

A Psalm of David.

1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,[a]
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.(A)
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
    worship the Lord in holy splendor.(B)

3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
    the God of glory thunders,
    the Lord, over mighty waters.(C)
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
    the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.(D)

5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
    the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.(E)
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf
    and Sirion like a young wild ox.(F)

7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.(G)

9 The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl[b]
    and strips the forest bare,
    and in his temple all say, “Glory!”(H)

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
    the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.(I)
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!
    May the Lord bless his people with peace!(J)
