Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

1Acknowledge the Lord, you heavenly beings,

acknowledge the Lord’s majesty and power!

2Acknowledge the majesty of the Lord’s reputation!

Worship the Lord in holy attire!

3The Lord’s shout is heard over the water;

the majestic God thunders,

the Lord appears over the surging water.

4The Lord’s shout is powerful,

the Lord’s shout is majestic.

5The Lord’s shout breaks the cedars,

the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf

and Sirion like a young ox.

7The Lord’s shout strikes with flaming fire.

8The Lord’s shout shakes the wilderness,

the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9The Lord’s shout bends the large trees

and strips the leaves from the forests.

Everyone in his temple says, “Majestic!”

10The Lord sits enthroned over the engulfing waters,

the Lord sits enthroned as the eternal king.

11The Lord gives his people strength;

the Lord grants his people security.
