Psalm 29

A Psalm of David.

1        Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons

                   that of the mighty be,

          All strength and glory to the Lord

                   with cheerfulness give ye.

2        Unto the Lord the glory give

                   that to his name is due;

          And in the beauty of holiness

                   unto JEHOVAH bow.

3        The Lord's voice on the waters is;

                   the God of majesty

          Doth thunder, and on multitudes

                   of waters sitteth he.

4        A pow'rful voice it is that comes

                   out from the Lord most high;

          The voice of that great Lord is full

                   of glorious majesty.

5        The voice of the Eternal doth

                   asunder cedars tear;

          Yea, God the Lord doth cedars break

                   that Lebanon doth bear.

6        He makes them like a calf to skip,

                   ev'n that great Lebanon,

          And, like to a young unicorn,

                   the mountain Sirion.

7        God's voice divides the flames of fire;

8                 The desert it doth shake:

          The Lord doth make the wilderness

                   of Kadesh all to quake.

9        God's voice doth make the hinds to calve,

                   it makes the forest bare:

          And in his temple ev'ry one

                   his glory doth declare.

10      The Lord sits on the floods; the Lord

                   sits King, and ever shall.

11      The Lord will give his people strength,

                   and with peace bless them all.
