PSALM 29
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm of David.
1Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons
that of the mighty be,
All strength and glory to the Lord
with cheerfulness give ye.
2Unto the Lord the glory give
that to his name is due;
And in the beauty of holiness
unto JEHOVAH bow.
3The Lord's voice on the waters is;
the God of majesty
Doth thunder, and on multitudes
of waters sitteth he.
4A pow'rful voice it is that comes
out from the Lord most high;
The voice of that great Lord is full
of glorious majesty.
5The voice of the Eternal doth
asunder cedars tear;
Yea, God the Lord doth cedars break
that Lebanon doth bear.
6He makes them like a calf to skip,
ev'n that great Lebanon,
And, like to a young unicorn,
the mountain Sirion.
7God's voice divides the flames of fire;
8The desert it doth shake:
The Lord doth make the wilderness
of Kadesh all to quake.
9God's voice doth make the hinds to calve,
it makes the forest bare:
And in his temple ev'ry one
his glory doth declare.
10The Lord sits on the floods; the Lord
sits King, and ever shall.
11The Lord will give his people strength,
and with peace bless them all.

(A psalm by David.)
The Voice of the Lord in a Storm
1 #
Ps 96.7-9. All you angels#29.1 angels: Or “supernatural beings” or “gods.” in heaven,
honor the glory and power
of the Lord!
2Honor the wonderful name
of the Lord,
and worship the Lord
most holy and glorious.#29.2 most … glorious: Or “in his holy place” or “and wear your glorious clothes.”
3The voice of the Lord
echoes over the oceans.
The glorious Lord God
thunders above the roar
of the raging sea,
4and his voice is mighty
and marvelous.
5The voice of the Lord
destroys the cedar trees;
the Lord shatters cedars
on Mount Lebanon.
6God makes Mount Lebanon
skip like a calf
and Mount Hermon
jump like a wild ox.
7The voice of the Lord
makes lightning flash
8and the desert tremble.
And because of the Lord,
the desert near Kadesh
shivers and shakes.
9The voice of the Lord
makes deer give birth
before their time.#29.9 makes … time: Or “twists the oak trees around.”
Forests are stripped of leaves,
and the temple is filled
with shouts of praise.
10The Lord rules on his throne,
king of the flood#29.10 king of the flood: In ancient times the people of Israel believed that a mighty ocean surrounded all of creation, and that God could release the water to flood the earth. forever.
11Pray that our Lord
will make us strong
and give us peace.
