New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 Give to the Lord the glory due his name.
Bow down before the Lord’s holy splendor!(A)

3 The voice of the Lord[a] is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is power;
the voice of the Lord is splendor.(B)
Footnotes
- 29:3 The voice of the Lord: the sevenfold repetition of the phrase imitates the sound of crashing thunder and may allude to God’s primordial slaying of Leviathan, the seven-headed sea monster of Canaanite mythology.
