Psalm 29-30

Christian Standard Bible

³ The voice of the Lord is above the waters.
The God of glory thunders—
the Lord, above the vast water,^(B)
4 the voice of the Lord in power,
the voice of the Lord in splendor.^(C)
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.^(D)
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,^(E)
and Sirion, like a young wild ox.^(F)
7 The voice of the Lord flashes flames of fire.^(G)
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.^(H)
9 The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth^[c](I)
and strips the woodlands bare.^(J)
In his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned, King forever.^(K)
11 The Lord gives his people strength;^(L)
the Lord blesses his people with peace.^(M)

⁴ Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones,
and praise his holy name.^(S)
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning.^(T)

⁶ When I was secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”^(U)
7 Lord, when you showed your favor,
you made me stand like a strong mountain;^(V)
when you hid your face, I was terrified.^(W)
8 Lord, I called to you;
I sought favor from my Lord:^(X)
9 “What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your truth?^(Y)
10 Lord, listen and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper.”^(Z)

¹¹ You turned my lament into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,^(AA)
12 so that I can sing to you and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever.^(AB)
