Psalm 29

This is a song that David wrote.

The storm [ a ]

29 All you angels in heaven,
say how great the Lord is!
Say that the Lord rules with power!
2 Say that the Lord 's name is great!
Worship the Lord for who he is,
and remember that he is holy.
3 The voice of the Lord shouts over the water.
The God of glory makes the noise of thunder.
The Lord appears over the great sea. [ b ]
4 The Lord 's voice is powerful.
It has the authority of a king!
5 When the Lord shouts,
even the cedar trees break!
Yes! The Lord breaks the great cedar trees of Lebanon. [ c ]
6 He makes Lebanon jump like a calf.
He causes Hermon mountain to shake
like a young bull jumps.
7 The Lord 's voice makes fire
like lightning in the sky.
8 When the Lord shouts,
the desert shakes!
He makes the Kadesh desert shake!
9 When the Lord shouts,
the big oak trees bend over.
The leaves fall off all the trees in the forests.
But in his temple,
everyone says, ‘He is great!’
10 The Lord rules as king over the deep waters. [ d ]
The Lord will be king for ever.
11 The Lord makes his people strong.
The Lord blesses his people with peace.

Footnotes

  1. 29:1 David saw a great storm, and this showed him the power of God. He saw the lightning and he heard the thunder. The storm came from the Mediterranean Sea to the mountains of Lebanon. It went from there to Hermon mountain, then down south to the Kadesh desert.
  2. 29:3 The great sea was probably the Mediterranean Sea.
  3. 29:5 Lebanon was famous for cedar trees. They were very big trees.
  4. 29:10 ‘the deep waters’ probably mean the flood that God sent to destroy people in Noah's time. See Genesis 6 .

A song of David.

29 Praise the Lord , you heavenly angels [ a ] !
Praise the Lord ’s glory and power.
2 Praise the Lord and honor his name!
Worship the Lord in all his holy beauty.
3 The Lord ’s voice can be heard over the sea.
The voice of our glorious Lord God is like thunder over the great ocean.
4 The Lord ’s voice is powerful.
It shows the Lord ’s glory.
5 The Lord ’s voice shatters great cedar trees.
The Lord breaks the great cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon shake like a young calf dancing.
Sirion [ b ] trembles like a young bull jumping up and down.
7 The Lord ’s voice cuts the air with flashes of lightning.
8 The Lord ’s voice shakes the desert.
The desert of Kadesh [ c ] trembles at the Lord ’s voice.
9 The Lord ’s voice frightens the deer. [ d ]
He destroys the forests.
In his temple everyone shouts, “Glory to God!”

10 The Lord ruled as king at the time of the flood,
and the Lord will rule as king forever.
11 May the Lord make his people strong.
May the Lord bless his people with peace.
