Psalm 29

Praise Jehovah, you celestial beings.
Praise Jehovah's glory and his power,
And grant Jehovah the honor due his name.
Bow down before Jehovah when he appears
In the splendor of his holy panoply.

Jehovah's voice echoes over the waters,
As the god of glory roars with thunder.
Jehovah is heard over the raging sea,
For the voice of Jehovah has power
And the voice of Jehovah has majesty.
Jehovah's voice splits the mighty cedars,
Splintering the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon cavort like a calf
And Mount Sirion leap like a wild young steer.
Jehovah speaks in flashes of lightning,
And his voice makes the barren deserts quake,
Shaking even the wastelands of Kadesh.
The voice of Jehovah twists the mighty oak
And strips the leaves from the trees of the forest
So that all in his Temple will shout, "Glory!"

Jehovah sits enthroned above the sea.
There he will sit enthroned as king forever.
Jehovah will lend strength to his people
And bring to them the blessing of peace.
