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.
Give unto יהוה, O ye mighty, give unto יהוה glory and strength.
Give unto יהוה the glory due unto his name; worship יהוה in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of יהוה is upon the waters: the El of glory thundereth: יהוה is upon many waters.
The voice of יהוה is powerful; the voice of יהוה is full of majesty.
The voice of יהוה breaketh the cedars; yea, יהוה breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
The voice of יהוה divideth the flames of fire.
The voice of יהוה shaketh the wilderness; יהוה shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of יהוה maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
יהוה sitteth upon the flood; yea, יהוה sitteth King for ever.
יהוה will give strength unto his people; יהוה will bless his people with peace.
