Psalm 29:1-11
A Psalm of David.
Ascribe to the Lord, O sons of the mighty,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
[2] Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name;
Worship the Lord in holy array.
[3] The voice of the Lord is upon 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 in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
[6] And He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion like a young wild ox.
[7] The voice of the Lord hews out 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 to calve,
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.
