Psalms 29

   |   

(A psalm by David.)

The Voice of the Lord in a Storm

1 All of you angels[a] in heaven,
    honor the glory and power
    of the Lord!
2 Honor the wonderful name
    of the Lord,
    and worship the Lord
    most holy and glorious.[b]

3 The voice of the Lord
    echoes over the oceans.
The glorious Lord God
thunders
    above the roar
    of the raging sea,
4     and his voice is mighty
    and marvelous.
5 The voice of the Lord
    destroys the cedar trees;
    the Lord shatters cedars
    on Mount Lebanon.
6 God makes Mount Lebanon
    skip like a calf
    and Mount Hermon
    jump like a wild ox.

7 The voice of the Lord
makes lightning flash
8     and the desert tremble.
And because of the Lord,
    the desert near Kadesh
    shivers and shakes.

9 The voice of the Lord
makes deer give birth
    before their time.[c]
Forests are stripped of leaves,
    and the temple is filled
    with shouts of praise.

10 The Lord rules on his throne,
    king of the flood[d] forever.
11 Pray that our Lord
will make us strong
    and give us peace.
