God Thunders Throughout Creation

Psalm 29

A psalm of David.
Ascribe to Adonai, O sons of God,
ascribe to Adonai glory and strength.
Ascribe to Adonai the glory of His Name.
Bow down to Adonai in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of Adonai is over the waters.
The God of glory thunders—
Adonai is over mighty waters.
The voice of Adonai is powerful.
The voice of Adonai is full of majesty.
The voice of Adonai breaks the cedars.
Yes, Adonai shatters cedars of Lebanon.
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of Adonai hews out flames of fire.
The voice of Adonai shakes the desert.
Adonai shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of Adonai makes the deer writhe in birth
and strips forests bare,
and in His Temple all are saying, “Glory!”
10 Adonai sits enthroned over the flood.
Yes, Adonai sits as King forever.
11 Adonai gives strength to His people.
Adonai blesses His people with shalom.
