About this chapterA hymn about the power of God's voice. David calls heavenly beings to give the Lord glory and worship him in holy splendor. Then a thunderstorm sweeps in from the sea, over the cedars of Lebanon, and across the wilderness, and each phrase names the voice of the Lord shaking creation, breaking trees and stirring the desert. In his temple everyone cries glory. The Lord reigns over the flood as king forever, and he gives strength to his people and blesses them with peace.

Psalms 29

Berean Standard Bible11 verses · 1 min read

1Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 2Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness. 3The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters. 4The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. 5The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon. 6He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire. 8The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. 9The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!” 10The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever. 11The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.
