Psalms 29

1Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

1 Give to the Lord, you sons of the gods, give to the Lord glory and strength.

1A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house.

2Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

2Give to the Lord the full glory of his name; give him worship in holy robes.

2I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

3The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.

3The voice of the Lord is on the waters: the God of glory is thundering, the Lord is on the great waters.

3O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.

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

4The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound.

4Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.

5The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

5By the voice of the Lord are the cedar-trees broken, even the cedars of Lebanon are broken by the Lord.

5Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

6He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

6He makes them go jumping about like a young ox; Lebanon and Sirion like a young mountain ox.

6For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

7The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire.

7At the voice of the Lord flames of fire are seen.

7And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

8The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

8At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land of Kadesh.

8O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

9The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

9At the voice of the Lord the roes give birth, the leaves are taken from the trees: in his Temple everything says, Glory.

9To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

10The Lord sitteth upon the flood; yea, the Lord sitteth King for ever.

10The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.

10What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

11The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.

11The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people the blessing of peace.

11The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

12Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

13To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
