Psalms 29

2 Give honor to the LORD for the glory of his name. Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

3 The voice of the LORD echoes above the sea. The God of glory thunders. The LORD thunders over the mighty sea.

4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

5 The voice of the LORD splits the mighty cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes Lebanon's mountains skip like a calf and Mount Hermon* to leap like a young bull.¹

7 The voice of the LORD strikes with lightning bolts.

8 The voice of the LORD makes the desert quake; the LORD shakes the desert of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the LORD twists mighty oaks* and strips the forests bare. In his Temple everyone shouts, "Glory!"²

10 The LORD rules over the floodwaters. The LORD reigns as king forever.

11 The LORD gives his people strength. The LORD blesses them with peace.
