Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

1Honor1 the Lord, children of God,2 honor his glory and strength.

2Honor the Lord for his glorious character, bow in reverence to the Lord in his brilliant holiness.

3The Lord's voice sounds over the sea. The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the vast ocean.

4The Lord's voice is powerful; the Lord's voice is majestic;

5the Lord's voice shatters the cedars, even breaking the cedars of Lebanon.

6He makes the mountains of Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.

7The Lord's voice blazes out like lightning flashes.

8The Lord's voice causes an earthquake in the desert; the desert of Kadesh shakes.

9The Lord's voice makes the pregnant deer go into labor; it strips bare the forests. In his Temple all the worshipers shout, “Glory!”

10The Lord sits on his throne above the floodwaters; the Lord is the eternal King.

11The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses them with peace.
