Psalms 29
1Give to the Lord, you sons of the gods, give to the Lord glory and strength.
2Give to the Lord the full glory of his name; give him worship in holy robes.
3The voice of the Lord is on the waters: the God of glory is thundering, the Lord is on the great waters.
4The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound.
5By the voice of the Lord are the cedar-trees broken, even the cedars of Lebanon are broken by the Lord.
6He makes them go jumping about like a young ox; Lebanon and Sirion like a young mountain ox.
7At the voice of the Lord flames of fire are seen.
8At the voice of the Lord there is a shaking in the waste land, even a shaking in the waste land of Kadesh.
9At the voice of the Lord the roes give birth, the leaves are taken from the trees: in his Temple everything says, Glory.
10The Lord had his seat as king when the waters came on the earth; the Lord is seated as king for ever.
11The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people the blessing of peace.

7The Lord's voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
8The Lord's voice shakes the wilderness. The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9The Lord's voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, "Glory!"
