Psalms 29 YLT
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. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
2Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.
3The voice of Jehovah is on the waters, The God of glory hath thundered, Jehovah is on many waters.
4The voice of Jehovah is with power, The voice of Jehovah is with majesty,
5The voice of Jehovah is shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah shivers the cedars of Lebanon.
6And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion as a son of Reems,
7The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames,
8The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth the wilderness of Kadesh.
9The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.'
10Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king--to the age,
11Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth His people with peace!
