Psalm 29

1 Ascribe to the LORD, sons of the mighty, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Worship the LORD in holy attire.
3 The voice of the LORD is on the waters; The God of glory thunders, The LORD is over many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful, The voice of the LORD is majestic.
5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; Yes, the LORD breaks the cedars of Lebanon in pieces.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, And Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD divides flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; The LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth And strips the forests bare; And in His temple everything says, "Glory!"
10 The LORD sat as King at the flood; Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.
11 The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace.
