Psalm 29
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Voice of God in a Great Storm

A Psalm of David.

29 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,[a]
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
    worship the Lord in holy array.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters;
    the God of glory thunders,
    the Lord, upon many waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful,
    the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars,
    the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,
    and Sir′ion like a young wild ox.

7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness,
    the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of the Lord makes the oaks to whirl,[b]
    and strips the forests bare;
    and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
    the Lord sits enthroned as king for ever.
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!
    May the Lord bless his people with peace!
