Psalm 29 - The Voice of the LORD
A thundering storm psalm celebrating the power and majesty of God's voice.
Psalm 29 calls the mighty to give the LORD glory and strength, part of the wider praise gathered in this Psalms overview, then pictures His voice as a thunderstorm rolling over the waters. The phrase "the voice of the LORD" repeats through the chapter as it breaks the cedars of Lebanon and shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
A Psalm of David. Ascribe unto HaShem, O ye sons of might, ascribe unto HaShem glory and strength.
Ascribe unto HaShem the glory due unto His name; worship HaShem in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of HaShem is upon the waters; the G-d of glory thundereth, even HaShem upon many waters.
The voice of HaShem is powerful; the voice of HaShem is full of majesty.
The voice of HaShem breaketh the cedars; yea, HaShem breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.
The voice of HaShem heweth out flames of fire.
The voice of HaShem shaketh the wilderness; HaShem shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of HaShem maketh the hinds to calve, and strippeth the forests bare; and in His temple all say: 'Glory.'
HaShem sat enthroned at the flood; yea, HaShem sitteth as King for ever.
HaShem will give strength unto His people; HaShem will bless his people with peace.
