Psalms, chapter 29

The Voice of the Lord in a Storm

All you angels* in heaven,

honor the glory and power of the Lord!

²Honor the wonderful name of the Lord,

and worship the LordI most holy and glorious.*

³The voice of the Lord echoes over the oceans.

The glorious Lord God thunders

above the roar of the raging sea,

⁴and his voice is mighty and marvelous.

⁵The voice of the Lord destroys the cedar trees;

the Lord shatters cedars on Mount Lebanon.

⁶God makes Mount Lebanon skip like a calf

and Mount Hermon jump like a wild ox.

⁷The voice of the Lord makes lightning flash

⁸and the desert tremble.

And because of the Lord,

the desert near KadeshG shivers and shakes.

⁹The voice of the Lord makes deer give birth

before their time.*

Forests are strippedI of leaves,

and the temple is filled with shouts of praise.

¹⁰The Lord rules on his throneI,

king of the floodH forever.

¹¹Pray that our Lord will make us strong

and give us peace.
