Psalms 29 GNV
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 Psalme of David. Give vnto the Lord, ye sonnes of the mightie: giue vnto the Lord glorie and strength.
2Giue vnto the Lord glorie due vnto his Name: worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie.
3The voyce of the Lord is vpon the waters: the God of glorie maketh it to thunder: the Lord is vpon the great waters.
4The voyce of the Lord is mightie: the voyce of the Lord is glorious.
5The voyce of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6He maketh them also to leape like a calfe: Lebanon also and Shirion like a yong vnicorne.
7The voice of the Lord deuideth the flames of sire.
8The voice of the Lord maketh the wildernes to tremble: the Lord maketh the wildernes of Kadesh to tremble.
9The voice of the Lord maketh the hindes to calue, and discouereth the forests: therefore in his Temple doth euery man speake of his glory.
10The Lord sitteth vpon the flood, and the Lord doeth remaine King for euer.
11The Lord shall giue strength vnto his people: the Lord shall blesse his people with peace.
