Psalms 29 DBY
Summary: A hymn celebrating God's power displayed in a violent thunderstorm, Psalm 29 opens by summoning heavenly beings to "ascribe to the LORD glory and strength" (v. 1) before tracing the storm's path as "the voice of the LORD" breaking cedars, shaking the wilderness, and stripping forests bare (v. 5-9), repeated seven times through the psalm. Its imagery likely draws on and subverts older storm-god language to assert the LORD's supremacy over nature. It closes by picturing God enthroned over the flood, giving strength and peace to his people (v. 10-11).
1A Psalm of David. Give unto Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty ones, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;
2Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; worship Jehovah in holy splendour.
3The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: theGod of glory thundereth, — Jehovah upon great waters.
4The voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is full of majesty.
5The voice of Jehovah breaketh cedars; yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon:
6And he maketh them to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.
7The voice of Jehovah cleaveth out flames of fire.
8The voice of Jehovah shaketh the wilderness; Jehovah shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and layeth bare the forests; and in his temple doth every one say, Glory!
10Jehovah sitteth upon the flood; yea, Jehovah sitteth as king for ever.
11Jehovah will give strength unto his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
